I don't think there's a standard for how to break down the ZFS pool to
individual datasets. If the install made only a single dataset for
/var you would then effectively get a read-write /var/empty. The
applies if you install on UFS and don't assign a separate filesystem
for /var/empty like the default install does in fact.
