FYI: The default bsdinstall result for auto ZFS that I tried
has a separate zroot/usr/src dataset, which zfs mounts at
/usr/src .
UPDATING and such places indicate sequences like:
(think etcupdate where it lists mergemaster and ignore
-F and -Fi)
<make sure you have good level 0 dumps>
make buildworld
make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
[1]
<reboot in single user> [3]
mergemaster -Fp [5]
NOTE: What /usr/src/etc/master.passwd here? (for example)
make installworld
mergemaster -Fi [4]
make delete-old [6]
<reboot>
etcupdate has the logic for handling -p:
if [ -n "$preworld" ]; then
# Build a limited tree that only contains files that are
# crucial to installworld.
for file in $PREWORLD_FILES; do
name=$(basename $file)
mkdir -p $1/etc >&3 2>&1 || return 1
cp -p $SRCDIR/$file $1/etc/$name || return 1
done
Note the "$SRCDIR/$file". But for a boot -s after
installing the kernel there is only zroot/ROOT/NAME
and no zroot/usr/src zfs mount so /usr/src/ is empty.
This leads to needing an additional step:
zfs mount zroot/usr/src
(The instructions do not deal with making / writable at this
stage either.)
