Hi Drew,

These questions are targeted at the wider audience, not just specifically you 
:-)

Just a couple of questions regarding BEs. Sorry I have not responded sooner. It 
is not clear to me at this point what the intended use for the BE element is.
If I want to determine the root filesystem, ie 'the '/' mounted filesysetm of 
the boot environment how do I go about determining this? Should I use the libbe 
ctype to extract further
info? Are there scenarios where this could be different than what the transfer 
module will install to as the root of the new system/environment?

Also any idea on how I might figure out where the root filesystem  of the about 
to be installed system is and where it is temporarily mounted at? I presume the 
transfer module is going to need this info also.

WRT to placing the BE element directly under the Zpool element, I wonder would 
it be more concise association to place it under a Filesystem element instead?

Thanks,
Niall
