Hmm.  Interesting.  I'm having the same result when trying the 'root on 
ZFS, boot from UFS' guide here:
<http://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS/UFSBoot>

Anything interesting happening during your install?  I have an error late 
in the process (During 'Step 3.1') with this command:
 Fixit# mv boot bootdir/

It gives me an error saying that /bin/cp can't found/executed.  (I've been 
trying to work around using `bin/cp -pRP boot bootdir/`.  Note the lack of 
the leading slash.)

I had tried several of the other installs from 
<http://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS> successfully, but I don't think I'd 
tried the MBR install.
