I've had at least some success (tried it once so far) doing a BFU to
cloned filesystem from a b62 zfs root system, I could probably document
that if there is interest.
Yep, been there too, weather's nice :-)

I have not tried taking a new ISO and installing the new packages ontop
of a cloned fileystem though.
I seem to remember trying something like that before, didn't work. I
suspect there's more to it than that unfortunately - would love to have
the time to play about more with upgrade hacks.
cheers,

zfs-boot crowd:
I said I'd try to come up with a procedure for liveupgrading
the netinstalled zfs-root setup, but I haven't found time to
do so yet (I'm focusing on getting this supported in install
for real). So while I hate to retreat into the "I never said
you could upgrade this configuration" excuse, that's what
I'm going to do, at least for now. I might get a chance
to work on a liveupgrade procedure in the next couple of
weeks. In the meantime, if someone else wants to take
a shot at it and post the results, go ahead.
