Hmm I assumed setting the root for the loader in /boot/loader.conf would 
work. eg:

vfs.root.mountfrom="zfs:zroot"

but I have never created a second pool during installation (I plan to when 
9.0-RELEASE comes out, so I hope it's not too tricky).  Perhaps the 
installation process defaulted to telling the loader to use the new pool 
somehow?
