            Bug ID: 210803
           Summary: installerconfig: bsdinstall zfsboot requires
                    ZFSBOOT_DISKS or it fails
           Product: Base System
           Version: 10.3-RELEASE
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: misc

I am currently setting up a scripted interactive install using installerconfig
for a ZFS-on-root install of Freebsd 10.3.

The preamble of installerconfig appears to work perfectly fine - hostname is
set, network is set up, ZFS datasets are created and mounted to /mnt etc,
however if I don't set "ZFSBOOT_DISKS=ada0" within installerconfig then the
installation shows an error message at the very end and does not proceed with
my installerconfig script: "No root partition was found. The root FreeBSD
partition must have a mountpoint of '/'." 

The installer then kicks me to a login prompt of the live CD instead of
proceeding with the rest of the installerscript.

Note that all ZFS datasets are set up correctly and mounted - I am unsure why
the installer is complaining that nothing is mounted? I do not want to have to
set ZFS_BOOT_DISKS= as the user should be able to set this up themselves
interactively.

The preamble to my installerconfig is as follows:
