Hi,
>From man bectl:
activate [-t | -T] beName
Activate the given beName as the default boot filesystem. If
the -t flag is given, this takes effect only for the next boot.
Flag -T removes temporary boot once configuration. Without
temporary configuration, the next boot will use zfs dataset
specified in boot pool bootfs property.
So it uses the bootfs property instead of loader.conf. If beadm used a different mechaniscm it would by nice to mention that in the HISTORY section of the bectl man page.
Regards,
Ronald.

bectl still has a number of bugs:<br />
1) The output from "bectl list" is in filesystem/bename order rather<br />
than creation date order. This is an issue if you use (eg) git<br />
commit hashes as the name.<br />
2) "bectl activate" doesn't update /boot/loader.conf so the wrong<br />
root filesystem is mounted.<br />
<br />
That said "bectl create" appears to be a workable replacement for<br />
"beadm create" and avoids the current "'snapshots_changed' is<br />
readonly" bugs.<br />
