Overview

Both Debian and Ubuntu fail to boot when there is an arbitrarily more complex zpool than a single vdev that contains the bootfs.

Notes on Boot Process

  • The compiled-in initramfs is mounted and executed.
    • It mounts the external initramfs; Deletes everything under its own initramfs; Executes the external initramfs /init
