Can't get "ZFS on GPT Root" to work.

I followed the instructions on

  http://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS/GPTZFSBoot

precisely (annoying, because I can't cut and paste :) on both my VMWare
machine locally and on a VPS from ArpNetworks.com.  In both cases, when
booting from the hard drive after install, I get:

     No ZFS pools located, can't boot

Is it missing a step?  Maybe the zpool should have been exported
at the end too?

I'm using 8.0-RELEASE-amd64-dvd1.iso on 64-bit VMs.
