Hi Chris,

Basically that's the document, yes. I didn't get that far yet, other
duties interrupted my work. I have a nfsroot that can find and report
existing zfs pools, so the sysinfo part is ready, but whether I'll
be able to install a zfs root without or with UEFI enabled still has
to be found out. (There's another article suggesting that the "with
UEFI" kind might be easier, because you'll have access to the 
bootloader via a separate partition - that gets created by zpool
create anyway.)
I'm planning to report back when it's done, this or the other way.

Thanks for your patience.

- Steffen
