--- Comment #3 from Graham Perrin <grahamperrin@freebsd.org> ---
Hmm. 

I _can_ install a minimal 15.1-BETA2 (packages, excluding the base meta package
and all other sets) to a pool named: 

sbin

The installed system does boot in single user mode, however commands such as
zfs and zpool are not found. 

Exiting to multi-user mode proceeds with abnormal speed: 

----

/etc/rc.subr: /sbin/sysctl: not found

… 

login: 

----

Login fails.
