Hi Mauricio,

You can follow the steps in the root pool recovery section to help
you see all the steps you need to create a bootable root pool, here:

        Thanks! I will give it a try later on.

The problem I see is that your bootpool is 9.78 GB and your current
rpool contents are 7.53 GB so your disk space in bootpool will be
extremely tight.

Well, I am building this machine to run zones that *should* (big word here) be as self-sufficient (whole root zone) as they can be. So, all it has to have in the bootpool is enough to boot and start the zones. Stuff like gnone and X-windows (just to name a few) need not to be in bootpool. Right now they are there because by mistake I told it to install everything + kitchen sink. Now I need to do some uninstalling and fat trimming. I hope I can get it down to half its current size.

Let's say I have two pools (each in its own HD), bootpool and rpool,

-bash-3.00# zfs list
NAME                            USED  AVAIL  REFER  MOUNTPOINT
bootpool                         72K  9.78G    21K  /bootpool
rpool                          7.53G  59.4G    97K  /rpool
rpool/ROOT                     4.53G  59.4G    21K  legacy
rpool/ROOT/s10s_u8wos_08a      4.53G  59.4G  4.46G  /
rpool/ROOT/s10s_u8wos_08a/var  68.8M  59.4G  68.8M  /var
rpool/dump                     1.00G  59.4G  1.00G  -
rpool/swap                        2G  61.4G    16K  -

And I want to move all the contents in rpool to bootpool. What is the
best way to to do? Snapshots and then zfs send/receive? If how, how
would I then make the machine boot from the drive with the bootpool
partition? I imagine I can go to openboot and then select there. But,
if I am extremely lazy and just sawp the drives around, would that
work?
