If you are trying to make a bootable disk to keep on the shelf, there's an excellent example here: http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5345546 IMO this should go on the wiki. I think it's a great example of the power of ZFS. I can't imagine doing anything like this with so easily with any legacy file system...
