I lost the ability to boot the environment named 'r357746', I suspect this occurred after I set it to use OpenZFS in lieu of ZFS.

I would like to edit its /boot/loader.conf (revert to zfs_load="YES") but re: https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues/4553 I can not think of a way to mount the dataset.

Please, how can I proceed?

Whilst booted from a different environment, I mounted the dataset whilst in single user mode, edited /boot/loader.conf … a little tricky, because after the mount I could no longer use zfs commands (ZFS library initialisation failed, words to that effect). Then beadm to activate the BE, and shutdown -r now

Success :-)

With zfs_load="YES" (in lieu of openzfs_load="YES") the BE is usable.

Perfect, thank you. I was nervous about destruction without warning.

Below, are the differences (in measurement) between beadm and bectl to be expected?
