I think I may have spoken too soon.

After spending almost a day setting up Trixie to have a ZFS root and
then almost two days trying to reproduce the problem, I have failed to
do so!

The only difference between Trixie and Testing (in regards to the initrd
script) is this commit, which is irrelevant:

Wessel, I need you to add the `zfsdebug=yes` on the kernel command line
and try to see where this is happening. Is it indeed in the initrd or once the
zfs mount happens??

If you could give me the output from the following commands, I’d also appreciate
it. I have no idea what I’m looking at, but at least then I can start to compare
it with what I have..

	* zpool get bootfs <pool>
	* zfs list -o name,canmount,encryption,mounted,mountpoint


The important thing I need to know, is it *really* the initrd that is at fault
here??! I’m not so sure it is..

But if you run it with `zfsdebug=yes`, it will give you a list of filesystems
mounted at the very end, then ask you if you want to drop into a shell,
reboot or continue..
