I'm doing something very similar (I actually used your blog post as the
start of my shopping list). I'd like to replace the boot drive with a
compact flash card but run with zfs root once booted, but haven't had
the time to investigate whether there's enough left over from the
initial zfs root integration to permit the ufs boot/zfs root hack (or
some other "pivot" hack) to work..
If all you need to put on the CF is grub, a "unix" binary, and the boot
archive, I should be able to use a relatively small card and still have
enough room for a couple copies of everything.
