Has anyone figured out a way to make pfinstall work
sufficiently to just pkgadd all the packages in a DVD
(or netinstall) image into a new ZFS root?

I have a ZFS root pool and an initial root FS that was
copied in from a cpio archive of a previous UFS root.
That much works great.  BFU works for the OS.  But
I really want to snapshot, clone, pfinstall to upgrade.

I tried creating a script to run pfinstall similar to how
liveupgrade runs it, but pfinstall always seemed eager
to newfs my root pool.  Is there tricky way to do this?

Thanks,
Gordon
