I'm not an expert but in /etc/system there is an entry for root-dev (or root-device?). E.g. the Solaris Volume Manager SVM uses this to mount the /dev/md/dsk/* device at boot. IMHO this is equivalent to Linux pivot-root.
When you put the root FS on ZFS, beware that all the libraries needed are already there. I was trapped by this some time ago, some libs were on /usr :/ Now I'm fine with UFS root on SVM mirror and /var on ZFS RAID 0+1 (mountpoint=legacy). FYI I'm on SPARC.
