I thought I'd get the option of doing a ZFS root when I did a clean install of 
nv build 76, but nothing about ZFS was mentioned anytime during the install.  
What's the deal?

Also, before I get too deeply into that, how does ZFS root interact with 
liveupgrade?

I've got two hot-swap drives available for the system disks (plus 6 more for 
data; the data part is working fine, the new install recognized the existing 
ZFS pool on those drives).  I'm trying to set up a system for good reliability 
(I haven't invested in dual power supplies, but I've got hot-swap drive bays, 
and I've allocated two physical drives for boot/root, and I want to use ZFS for 
more than just the data if possible).   What's the best way to use my two 
boot/root drives to give me reliability and clean upgrades?  I've never used 
liveupgrade before, but the concept seems simple and desirable; having the 
installation of the new system not require taking down the old system for most 
of the time is a clear-cut win.
