If you jumpstart a system, and have it "default" to a shared / and /var,
you can do the following:

 lucreate -n lu1
 lustatus

Due to a bug you now have to edit: /bootpool/boot/menu.lst

Once that's done, you're in good shape and both environments are
bootable (review boot -L)

--

If we do the same thing with a separate / and /var
        using jumpstart profile entry:  
                bootenv installbe bename zfsboot dataset /var  

Things appear to be working well....
Lucreate appears to do all the snapshots/clones, and sets some special
parameters for /var

But when you try to boot from that BE, things die pretty early on in the
boot process, likely related to the fact that it didn't actually mount
/var....

Is this a known bug? (is this the proper way to validate, and
potentially file bugs for ZFS boot?)

Thanks,

Mike,

As we discussed, you can't currently break out other datasets besides
/var. I'll add this issue to the FAQ.

Thanks,

Cindy
