If your root filesystem is your root > dataset (like "tank"), then everything should have just worked. it was/is (and, as I previously stated, is the only ZFS dataset on the machine), but unfortunately without explicit setting bootfs property does not work :( As this machine is still on staging phase (although I'm afraid I have to put it in production during next few days, so timing are tight), I'm more than happy to make debugging boots/runs to tighten the issue.
