I installed 9.0 onto my machine booting from zfs about a year and a half
ago and remember having issues getting it bootable. As I recall
mounpoint=legacy and mountpoint=/ effectively point to two different
filesystems.

Changing the mounpoint after installing hides the / filesystem.

So it isn't so much which mountpoint to use but which mountpoint *was*
used when you installed the system.
