You can do something like

gpart delete -i 2 da0
gpart resize -s 512k -i 1 da0
gpart add -t freebsd-swap da0
gpart bootcode -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 da0

This reminds me of a question that I had, does a stable/13
installworld install the bootcode?  I am now guessing it
doesn't, on account of it might be difficult to figure
out what partition to install it to.

That might explain why the zfs root boot over the stable/12
disks failed.


gpart list da0
will show the swap partition last but it will still be /dev/da0p2

Practice on a md0 device if you want to test this.

truncate -s 20G file
mdconfig -a -t vnode -f file
gpart create -s GPT md0
etc.


I really appreciate these instructions, thank you.
