>Description:
here is a solution for running NetBSD amd64 on zfs filesystem.
The system boots on a very small ufs2 root partition (no usr, no var) and
then jumps into the zfs filesystem without the use of a ramdisk.
it consists of an installer, that must be run from an already running NetBSD (can be a live FS)... that partition the disk, using gpt, installs the base system, and a new rc.d entry: zpool that during the boot phase, activate the zfs datasets...  on exit the boot runs normally and the result is the full NetBSD running on a zfs FS  with the /var, /usr, /home...  all on the zpool. 
the script ask for the distribution sets directory, a directory that contais the tar.zx (base.tar.xz, etc.tar.xz...)   and installs from there ..  any contribution to the script is welcome

take a look at the script at: http://k1.com.br/makegptzfs.sh
