It is also necessary to use either installboot (sparc) or installgrub (x86)
to install the boot loader on the attached disk. It is a bug that this
is not done automatically (6668666 - zpool command should put a
bootblock on a disk added as a mirror of a root pool vdev)

Will the initial ZFS root filesystem putback include support for system

You can use the -x option (on each zfs file system)
to prevent lucreate from creating new copies of

ZFS-boot has not been released in any official way
yet. Only parts of it are available in OpenSolaris.
So no, no one should be booting ZFS in production yet.

So either the zfs boot support has to be putback
into Solaris, or the above bug needs to be fixed
before we can make a zfs-capable install solution
available to the Open Solaris community.
