Hi, I installed the system on a zpool taking the whole disk, I used grub and and built initramfs with genkernel, but now when I start the system I have this error
| Code: | Booting (initramfs)
/newroot is a mountpoint
Chroot : can't execute '/usr/bin/test' : No such file or directory
>>Switching to real root: /sbin/switch_root -c /dev/console /newroor /sbin/init
INIT: version 2.88 booting
INIT: No inittab file found
Enter runlevel: |

Any help? I've also tried generating initramfs with bliss script and I have the same problem. I have to add that, if I set a wrong root in grub.cfg, so it bring me to the shel and then I manually import the zpool, the system starts normally  |

Try building the initramfs using dracut like so,
| Code: |
dracut --omit resume --omit-drivers="resume" --host-only "" 4.9.76-gentoo-r1
|
Change your kernel version though above. |

If you have access to irc, pop over to #zfsonlinux on freenode.

| Oh, I solved the problem, I just needed to have /etc on the same / dataset. Howewer, is there a way to mount other dataset aside from root on startup? |

sorry for the delay.
if they are zfs and on the same pool, they should be mounted on import (unless you have canmount set to no). if they're from another pool, you probably need to start the zfs-import and zfs-mount services. if you used legacy mountpoints, then they should get mounted on boot when the system reads /etc/fstab.

I would try starting zfs-mount but afaik you shouldn't need it if its on the same pool.
