It's pointing at the filesystem used for the zone itself; the thing that is
populated when you run `zoneadm -z <zone> install`. For a bhyve zone, this is
just a handful of files and some loopback mounts but the zone needs something
to mount on / during boot.

Okay, thanks, I understand that, but where is that? /data??? Or is it just an example, can I put this where I want it? I wouldn't want it in rpool...

And as well, I suppose this is this a zfs path, so that it should start with a pool? Maybe your example starts with the pool: /data?
