zfs code - Jun 2009 - zfs or zvol for major 256 device *name*

It appears that during the boot process, major 256 is referred to as zvol,
sometime during the boot process, it switches to the entry in /etc/name_to_major
which refers to major 256 as zfs.

Wouldn''t it be better to use a consistent naming convention from boot
to multi-user run levels?

I ran into this when trying to use a zvol as a metadb repository on U6
(it''s still non-functional in U7).
