zpool.cache is broken.  Rename /boot/zfs/zpool.cache so that ZFS won't
load it, then import the pools manually.  (a reboot might be needed
before the import; not sure).

The problem is that ZFS is recording the boot-time assigned name
(/dev/ad0) in the cache.  I'm hoping to get GEOM to put the disk serial
number in /dev, i.e., /dev/serialnum/5LZ958QL.  If you created the pool
using serial numbers then the cache would always work right.
