What is going to happen when the root filesystem is ZFS? Hopefully the same mechanism will be available.
A similar mechanism will do what you want. The only difference
is that while booted from the cdrom, you would have to use
the "zfs import" command to import the root pool. Then you
can mount the root dataset and modify it as needed.
