Hi Colin, could you share your config to automatically generate the ZFS-based AMI? I have an existing setup using Packer and bsdinstall, used on several staging systems. For an official AMI, I wouldn't expect anything but the default bsdinstall ZFS-on-root setup. Here's an example (does some more stuff, see repo's purpose): https://github.com/AndiDog/zfs-lockup/blob/master/http/installerconfig_zfs
