Well, I see in nu_install on GitHub how you're doing it:
You added:
init_script="/boot/init.sh"
to /boot/loader.conf, wich -- among other things -- does these two interesting
things (variable names changed to make things more clear):
zfs rollback -r $zfs/swap/host@blank
NOTE: $zfs is equal to $( /bin/kenv vfs.root.mountfrom ) minus the leading
"zfs:"
and
zfs mount $zpool/etc
NOTE: $zpool is equal to $zfs from above, leading up to (but not including) the
first slash (/).
Cute. Have to say I wasn't aware of the init_script feature of loader.conf(5).
Not bad.
