bsdinstall scripted zfs install

I have been experimenting with bsdinstall and scripted installs.  I can
get everything to work just fine on UFS installs, but zfs seems to fail,
even with minimal configs. I am testing on RELENG13, and trying to make
a 12.2R image.

I do a

truncate -s 20G test.img

mdconfig -o async -f test.img

then

bsdinstall script zfsinstall.cfg

zfsinstall.cfg has in it


export DISTRIBUTIONS="kernel.txz base.txz homes.tgz lib32.txz"
export ZFSBOOT_POOL_NAME="zrootmdt2"
export ZFSBOOT_DISKS="md0"
export ZFSBOOT_SWAP_SIZE="8g"
export ZFSBOOT_POOL_CREATE_OPTIONS="-d -O compress=lz4  -o
feature at lz4_compress=enabled -o cachefile=/var/tmp/zpool.cache"
export nonInteractive="YES"
export nonInteractive=0 bsdinstall zfsboot

#!/bin/sh
echo 'Running installerconfig...'
export PACKAGESITE="pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/latest"
sysrc ifconfig_igb0=DHCP
sysrc sshd_enable=YES
# Installing packages. The following two lines is borrowed
# code from sysutils/firstboot-pkgs [1]

env PACKAGESITE="pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/latest"
env ASSUME_ALWAYS_YES=YES pkg bootstrap -f | cat

pkg install -y frr7 nrpe3 sudo
#gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 md0

-----------------------------------------

It creates the zfs pool, but then fails with

Error mounting partition /mnt/boot/efi:  
mount_msdosfs: /dev/md0p1: Device busy

before it even gets to running the dist extraction.  It also unmounts my
live zfs working set,

so in this case I have to do a
umount /mnt/boot/efi
zfs export zrootmdt
zfs mount -a

to get back my proper file system

Any idea what I am doing wrong ?
