I am running FreeBSD 12.1 in VirtualBox 6.1.0 without EFI.

Something's missing and I'm just wondering where it is. Can you post the output from gpart show?
 
Code:

        63         1        - free -  (512B)

That 2GB partition is where the bootpool probably is. I'm wondering why it doesn't show up with a zfs list. What does zfs import show?
 
Code: 
   pool: bootpool
     id: 11334815970963524383
  state: ONLINE
 action: The pool can be imported using its name or numeric identifier.
 config:

        bootpool    ONLINE
          ada0s1a   ONLINE
 
Ah, there it is. Run zpool import bootpool, then zfs mount -a. That should bring it back. No idea why it's been exported though.
