Ah, OK, thanks...

Interesting, I didnt think of trying that. Mainly because it appears to
have set the variable correctly, or at least it has the output:

	Trying to mount root from zfs:rpool/ROOT/default 

But I shall try that. As soon as I can get one of them up
and running again :-( I now have zero machines booting! My
diagnosis that it was due to the size of the Vm was wrong, and I rebooted
them on the smallest size thinking it would be fine. It wasn't.

*sigh*

Thankyou!
