I just wanted to note that gptzfsboot and zfsboot behaves this way. Boot1
looks for loader in the pool which contains the disk that the BIOS booted.
It passes through the ID of that pool to loader which uses that pool as the
default for loading kernel and modules. I believe this is the correct
behaviour. For gptzfsboot and zfsboot, it is possible to override by
pressing space at the point where it is about to load loader.
