I'll note that I tried to use:

# bsdinstall zfsboot

but it reported during the update of the media:

eval: cannot create /tmp/bsdinstall_etc/fstab: No such file or directory

and left the media partially updated:

=>       40  468862048    da1  GPT  (224G)
         40     532480  da1p1  efiboot0  (260M)
     532520  468329568         - free -  (223G)

For reference:

# ls -Tld /tmp/*
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  4462 May  7 20:07:49 2021 /tmp/bsdinstall_log

The log shows:

DEBUG: /usr/libexec/bsdinstall/zfsboot: Last Chance!
DEBUG: zfs_create_boot: poolname=[zroot] vdev_type=[]
DEBUG: zfs_create_boot: Initializing temporary fstab(5) file...
DEBUG: zfs_create_boot: :> "/tmp/bsdinstall_etc/fstab"
DEBUG: zfs_create_boot: retval=2 <output below>
eval: cannot create /tmp/bsdinstall_etc/fstab: No such file or directory

In other words: it appearently did not try to create
/tmp/bsdinstall_etc/ before trying to use it to hold
a fstab file. (Sort of like trying to use MANIFEST
prior to having gotten such a file to use into the
place it uses it from.)
