Add zfs case instructions as a NOTE

I ran into trouble following the documentation at the patched section 26.6.=
3.
Updating the Source. The patch might not be in a state yet fully possible to
merge, but I hope it might be far gone enough to receive feedback or to hav=
e a
discussion around.

Me knowingly, I didn't explicitly request `/usr/src` to be on its own datas=
et.
So I guess it is the default, or at least a very easy operation, when
installing FreeBSD 14.0. Thus it would make sense to mention update the
handbook accordingly. I did not dig any deeper into when creation of a data=
set
might have happened.

In my patch, I made a NOTE. I don't know whether it would made more sense to
fully replace the existing instructions, but assume that's unwanted for at
least a few releases.

One might wish to better incorporate the different flows into each other,
rather than having a separate note. As can probably be seen from both the p=
atch
and the language of this bug report, writing doesn't always come fully natu=
ral
to me. So I'm filing an issue earlier rather than later, hoping for assista=
nce
with phrasing things.
