this works for me: # zfs create -o canmount=noauto -o mountpoint=/ zroot/ROOT/vanilla # bectl mount vanilla /mnt # cd /some/path/to/sets/ # tar xzpf ./kernel.txz -C /mnt/ # tar xzpf ./base.txz -C /mnt/ # tzsetup -C /mnt UTC # pwd_mkdb -p -d /mnt/etc /mnt/etc/master.passwd # ln -s /usr/home /mnt/home ### copy in & amend /etc/fstab /etc/rc.conf /boot/loader.conf as required # bectl activate -t vanilla # reboot try that and let us know what, if any, errors you get?
