Subject: zfs boot suddenly not working
We have a machine that is configured with zfs boot , Nevada v67- we
have two pools, rootpool and datapool. It has
Edit the kernel$ line and add '-k' at the end. That should drop you

rootpool/rootfs- / zfs - no -
(bet it doesn't... edit like above and reboot)
or second guess (well, third :-) is your theory that

zpool import rootpool
zpool import

heh - probably.
This is off topic but now this brings us to another problem...

I can think of two things to check:
First, is there a 'bootfs' line in your grub entry? I didn't see it
in the original email; not sure if it was left out or it simply isn't
present. If it's not present, ensure the 'bootfs' property is set on
your pool.
Secondly, ensure that there's a
