I had this same issue: https://github.com/zfsonlinux/pkg-zfs/issues/182
I wrote a patch the requires the setting of the "zpool bootfs" parameter which
I think should be a requirement anyway. The other solutions did not seem to
work in every situation and I was still having issues with some systems.
That patch also checks against multiple "zpool bootfs" parameters or a missing
entry all together.
