As Jean-Yves pointed out: upgrade not update. Some word beginning with
'up' anyhow.

# gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 ad0

This part applies only if you're booting from ZFS drives?

Yes, if you're booting from ZFS and you're using gpt to partition the
disks, as described at http://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS/GPTZFSBoot/
et seq. That's probably the most common way of installing FreeBSD+ZFS in
use today.

The reason I've not installed ZFS on root is because of the added complications. I run the OS on ufs (with gmirror) and my data is on ZFS. We must be hanging out with different groups. Most of the people I know don't have ZFS on root.
