I've a simpler reproducer context based on just official
materials:
Downloaded and dd'd an 2023-Apr-06 snapshot image and
powered up a small aarch64 board with it:
. . .
FreeBSD 14.0-CURRENT #0 main-n262010-f21faa67ab6b: Thu Apr 6 11:49:31 UTC 2023
r...@releng1.nyi.freebsd.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/arm64.aarch64/sys/GENERIC
arm64
FreeBSD clang version 15.0.7 (https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project.git
llvmorg-15.0.7-0-g8dfdcc7b7bf6)
. . .
So: A just-UFS boot context. Then login and try "zpool import"
without having any zfs media present, just the UFS boot media:
