Most probably you had mountpoint set to system paths (/usr, for
example).

The -R option could help ypu there, so all zfses will be mounted
relative to an alternative root and not overwrite the fixit system
paths. That is a proprietary property and will not be saved to the pool
anyway.

I evn usually set mountpoint=/ for the root zfs when I make zfs
boot systems, works like a charm.
