I am to silly to mount a zpool while boot

[Peter Maloney]

For the mount, don't use fstab. use:

zfs set mountpoint=/home poolname/path/to/dataset

And for the import, add

zfs_enable="YES"

to rc.conf.


And I think that's it. (all my FreeBSD systems are pure zfs, so not sure
what troubles you would get if you had UFS on root)
