Ok, that's a start. I ran zpool import, which showed zroot, and then did zpool import -f zroot, which happily succeeded, and this blew away all the / mounts, so that the situation for the boot image is the same for the system disk. That is, no / mounted directories are visible. I've rebooted the install image and looked at mounting to an existing directory but the mfs is read only. Running zpool import -o mountpoint=z1 zroot replies 'property mountpoint is not a valid pool property', which is true. Should I give up on this and polish my system installation technique?
