This was not obvious (for me). I use ZFS since 8.x with FreeBSD=20
(with manual setup of zroot / gptzfs-bootloader etc) and with Debian=20
wheezy for a while so I'm not "new" to ZFS.

Having a BE is cool stuff I guess, but it lacks some documentation (at
least in FreeBSD handbook).

I found just a side note about "boot environments" in the "FreeBSD
handbook": https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/bsdinstall-partitioning.html

Is there some "official" documentation about boot environments?

Searching the web for 'site:freebsd.org zfs "boot environment"' I found
https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/howto-freebsd-zfs-madness.31662/=20
So is this "official" or mainstream or just a experimental hack or a poc?

Regards
Raphael
