So the key steps seem to be: 1) zfs_load="YES" in loader.conf 2) zfs_enable="YES" in rc.conf 3) Set bootfs=data/root in the zpool. 4) Set mountpoint=legacy on the root fs Using mountpoint=legacy seems a little conceptually challenged, especially given that the description of a legacy mount is: "If a file system's mount point is set to legacy, ZFS makes no attempt to manage the file system, and the administrator is responsible for mounting and unmounting the file system." Is this bending things to claim setting bootfs is adequate example of the administrator's responsibility to mount the file system? (Even though that is clearly also part of ZFS.) How does mountpoint=legacy interact with importing the pool on another system, or from a LiveCD, with " -o altroot=/mnt " ? (A case where mountpoint=/ works perfectly.) And, finally, what would have to change to support a ZFS root filesystem set as mountpoint=/ instead of mountpoint=legacy ? Thanks!
