            Bug ID: 249194
           Summary: New zfs fails to attach on startup on powernv
           Product: Base System
           Version: CURRENT
          Hardware: powerpc
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: jhibbits at FreeBSD.org

The zpool rc.d script runs before mountcritlocal now, with the new OpenZFS
import.  However, powernv (powerpc64 native on IBM hardware) puts /boot on a
separate filesystem, which doesn't get mounted until after that point.  This
causes the zpool script to fail if zfs is not built into the kernel.

This appears to have been fine before because zfs(8) would automagically import
the pool when starting up (after mountcritlocal, required by zfsbe), but zpools
don't get automatically imported anymore.

A hack to workaround this I did was to add a '/etc/rc.d/zpool start' into the
two startup blocks in /etc/rc.d/zfs, but that's probably the wrong solution.
