What is the syntax of what has to be inserted into $ZFS-BOOTFS (or presumably into the kernel$ menu line, unless some traditional parameter has to be removed) ?
An example would come nicely.

The arguments that need to be passed for #7119 to work are zfs-bootpool=<rpool guid> and zfs-bootvdev=<boot dev guid>.

This has been tested in VMware Fusion and Amazon EC2 with disk images that were constructed as lofi devices and so require that the pool scan work properly to boot.
