This was mentioned in #99 and I added it as an alternative option.
However, it seems to break GRUB; see #107. GRUB tries to parse
/proc/mounts and see a line like this:
systemd-1 /boot/efi autofs ...
From there, it gets "systemd-1" as the device name, and breaks.
Closes#107

We need the bpool to end up in zpool.cache. For some reason, this is
not happening normally on Ubuntu 20.04. I added the same steps to
Debian too, for good measure.
This was discussed in #120.

The previous approach to installation is: try this easy one first, and
if it fails, try the hard one.
This commit streamlines the installation experience by minimizing
references to such procedures.
This commit also removes verbose comments from Root on ZFS installation
guides.
As the upstream has fixed glibc, its section is also removed.

We were getting errors about failing to parse some blocks as "sh"
because they weren't.
I made one small textual change when cleaning this up.

If the disk has been used before (with partitions at the same offsets),
previous filesystems (e.g. the ESP) will automount if not disabled.

"The /root dataset is created with default world-readable permissions
(755). debootstrap would create /root with 700 permissions, but it
does not change the permissions if it already exists."

This was breaking on FreeBSD, as some of the URLs were returning 404. That
raises an HTTPError. If we catch those and skip those sources (just as we
were already doing for HTTP codes other than 200), the script completes. But
then we get a whole bunch of columns full of "no", which does not seem useful.
I added code to skip columns for sources that failed to download.

I made Debian follow the Ubuntu approach, which comes from the Ubuntu
installer. There was a report (#99) of a problem with the old approach
used on Debian. In that issue, user foo-git linked to a Fedora feature
request which discusses automounting /boot/efi instead. I've offered
that as an alternative.
I am not switching to that outright, as following the Ubuntu installer
(where possible) is a goal of mine.

The fix for #97, 66233a1138, seems to
have created yet another issue (beyond #100):
"the link /etc/resolv.conf -> ../run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf
is dangling (since /run has just been clobbered by an empty tmpfs).
debootstrap seems to populate all manner of stuff in /run."

I considered just reverting all of this, since the original issue only
occurred when copying in an existing system. Ignoring it was my
decision the first time this came up. But it's come up twice now.
Also, this mode is mentioned in the guide. Most importantly, if we are
not mounting a /tmpfs at /run in the normal case, then we could end up
with cruft in /run in the root filesystem which could potentially break
something or be confusing later if the /run tmpfs ever failed to mount.
So in the interest of correctness, I'd like to try to handle this.
I am now mounting a tmpfs at /mnt/run before the debootstrap step.

This resolves#83. While 0.6.5.11 is old, it still had feature flags.
Since the 0.6.x branch will not receive further minor releases,
this static change should be stable.

The zpool.cache file is getting cleared by zfs-import-bpool.service. A
work-around is to move the cache file out of the way before the import
and restore it after:

The suggestion there is suppressing errors with `|| true`, which can
also be done by prefixing the command with `-`. (I verified that the
systemd in Buster is new enough to support that.) If we are
suppressing errors anyway, I'm not sure there's a benefit to checking
for the file rather than just trying the move and letting it fail. The
latter approach avoids the shell entirely. So I changed it.

It was reported, in #97, that this is required when copying an existing
system installation into the root filesystem. It is probably a good
idea to do this all the time, to avoid the risk of stray junk ending up
in /run during the install process.

This might be useful to someone. It definitely would have been useful
for me in the past. I have a Nexenta 4 system in production, so I was
able to personally verify the feature support there.
This has a couple of hacks, like with other sources, to workaround
documentation bugs.

The convention here is to add a blank line between commands that
cannot be copied-and-pasted together. apt is such a command, as it
will eat the input from the paste.
It is not necessary to enable universe in the Live CD. zfs-initramfs is
in main these days.
I left universe (and multiverse) enabled in the installed system.
People who care can customize.
