I've used the PINE64-LTS FreeBSD-12-RELEASE image, changed the u-boot
for the OrangePi PC2, copied the contents from the mmcsd0s2 partition.
Then I erased the mmcsd0s2 partition content, setup a new BSD label
with a freebsd-zfs partition in it.
The I setup ZFS, added the loader.conf variables, ...
The mmcsd0s1 partition with the loader was untouched.
My PC still lists the label:
[225]cicely7# ls /dev/msdosfs/
MSDOSBOOT
And the system is using it without problems to boot from it.
But in the OS itself it failed to mount, because the whole partition
is missing.
root@generic:/dev # zpool status -v
  pool: zroot
 state: ONLINE
  scan: none requested
config:

        NAME                       STATE     READ WRITE CKSUM
        zroot                      ONLINE       0     0     0
          diskid/DISK-6D181A92s2a  ONLINE       0     0     0

root@generic:/dev # ls -al /dev/mmcsd*
crw-r-----  1 root  operator  0x55 Jan  1 00:00 /dev/mmcsd0

I guess it has something to do with ZFS using the diskid, because under
diskid it is still listed.
And I can even mount it:
root@generic:/dev # mount -t msdosfs /dev/diskid/DISK-6D181A92s1 /boot/msdos
It also worked fine with the original UFS rootfs.
