Make sure /dev/zfs exists.  You might have to /etc/MAKEDEV it.  That may
be the error when using the 'zfs' command.

Module loading might not work with securelevel > 0.  Depending on the
state of autoloading, that won't be a problem, but if you have disabled
autoloading of modules, put zfs in /etc/modules and add modules=YES to
/etc/rc.conf and reboot.
