I'm trying to get ZFS On Linux (ZoL) to work from boot (debian-installer)
on linux-amd64 and I'm getting quite good results (I've just created my
first pool).

But I'm unsure on how to proceed. I also have a kFreeBSD (amd64) in another
VM (VirtualBox) and it seems to have the same 'problem'.


What happens is that I create a pool (mirrored). But it doesn't have a
mountpoint (and I can't seem to change it) and it (D-I) refuses to continue
because it can't find a root filesystem.

Trying to select one of the partitions which is marked as 'zfs', I get an
error saying it's in use by a ZFS pool...


I'm looking at the install documentation for kFreeBSD but it doesn't really
help (it doesn't contain any information on how to install on ZFS).
