I upgraded to 13.0-RELEASE-p5 a little over a month ago and had no 
trouble, so my questions are pretty general.

First, I've never seen error messages prefaced with "Solaris" on my 
FreeBSD system; perhaps that's just part of the Sun/Oracle code and I 
haven't seen it.

Second, I know that 'tank' is the zpool most often used in Oracle's 
official ZFS documentation, but my system uses 'zroot'. Presumably, 
your zpool worked under 12.x, but I just wanted to verify that your 
root filesystem is indeed 'tank/root' (mine is 'zroot/ROOT/default').

Third,

I'm not sure what sort of console, if any, you have available. Can you 
do a "zpool import" or "zpool import tank"? If so, what does "zpool 
status" say?
