I am following this wiki page to move to zfs root:

http://wiki.freebsd.org/ZFSOnRoot

I got to this section:

"Create bootdir directory where the boot file system will be mounted:

# mkdir /tank/bootdir
# ln -s bootdir/boot /tank/boot"

I am confused about the symlink line - what is 'bootdir' ?

Thanks,
