I'm still left wondering why you wouldn't just create the file /etc/installerconfig and set the ZFSBOOT_DATASETS variable. Setting this variable in /etc/installerconfig on the installation media will override the default value of: 116 ZFSBOOT_DATASETS=" 117 # DATASET OPTIONS (comma or space separated; or both) 118 119 # Boot Environment [BE] root and default boot dataset 120 /$ZFSBOOT_BEROOT_NAME mountpoint=none 121 /$ZFSBOOT_BEROOT_NAME/$ZFSBOOT_BOOTFS_NAME mountpoint=/ 122 123 # Compress /tmp, allow exec but not setuid 124 /tmp mountpoint=/tmp,compression=lz4,exec=on,setuid=off 125 126 # Don't mount /usr so that 'base' files go to the BEROOT 127 /usr mountpoint=/usr,canmount=off 128 129 # Home directories separated so they are common to all BEs 130 /usr/home # NB: /home is a symlink to /usr/home 131 132 # Ports tree 133 /usr/ports compression=lz4,setuid=off 134 135 # Source tree (compressed) 136 /usr/src compression=lz4,exec=off,setuid=off 137 138 # Create /var and friends 139 /var mountpoint=/var 140 /var/crash compression=lz4,exec=off,setuid=off 141 /var/log compression=lz4,exec=off,setuid=off 142 /var/mail compression=lz4,atime=on 143 /var/tmp compression=lz4,exec=on,setuid=off 144 " # END-QUOTE The variable is a multi-line string that describes the datasets and their properties. NOTE WELL: When overriding the variable with different contents, the variables ZFSBOOT_BEROOT_NAME and ZFSBOOT_BOOTFS_NAME have not yet been defined, so those should be translated to their literal string values, shown below...
