We are missing that from the gptboot.8 page also.

   gptzfsboot is installed in a freebsd-boot partition, usually the
   first partition on the disk.  A ``protective MBR'' (see gpart(8)) is
   typically used in combination with gptzfsboot.

   To install gptzfsboot on the ada0 drive:

         gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 ada0
