What about adding support for zfs then (see below)? I found it especially useful when you have zfs-on-root and copy /rescue to /bootdisk and symlink bin and sbin to rescue - this allows emergency management of zfs when booting with /bootdisk as root. Trick with -lm seems to be needed because libzfs itself refers to pow(3) - or did I miss something trivial to resolve this?
