Not having the correct date and time makes many PKI based things not work
In 10 and 11, it can mean that Unbound, ntpd, and sshd won't start

Apply the LenovoFix (fake partition in pMBR is 2nd rather than 1st)
and GPT Active fix (mark the fake pMBR partition active) to respective
hardware that is confirmed to require such to boot correct.

A separate bootpool is used when the selected partition type is MBR
or when the disk is GELI encrypted and a UEFI loader is selected.
BIOS avoids the bootpool by using bootcode and loader that support GELI.
bsdinstall did not remount the bootpool after creating the main pool,
which caused an error when mkdir tried to create /boot/zfs

Fix an error where vfs.root.mountfrom was not always set as required
when creating a bootpool. After the recent geliboot changes, it was only
set if the main pool was encrypted.
Also resolve an error where the bootpool was unmounted twice causing
bsdinstall to stop with an error message about the failed command.

Do not set canmount=noauto on the boot environment at create time, because
this causes / to not be mounted, and since the chroot is read only, new
mountpoints cannot be created.
The property is set later, when other properties are adjusted

In this configuration, a separate bootpool is not required.
This allows ZFS Boot Environments to be used with GELI encrypted ZFS pools.
Support for GPT+EFI+GELI is planned for the future.

The root file system is mounted early via vfs.root.mountfrom.
The canmount=noauto property only affects the zfs rc.d script.
This ensures that the 'default' BE is not mounted overtop of another BE when
one is selected from the beastie menu

Installs both pmbr+gptzfsboot as well as boot1.efifat in separate partitions
The resulting system can be booted with either UEFI or BIOS/CSM.
Preference is controlled by the user's firmware boot settings.
This is now the default for zfsboot installs

If the bootpool does not start at the first sector of the BSD partition
then zfsldr seeks to the wrong offset inside the ZFS vdev label, and is
unable to find zfsboot, so the system does not boot
If 4k alignment is requested, align the BSD partition in the MBR table,
and align the swap and data pool, but the bootpool must start at sector 1
While here, if 4k alignment is requested, disable MBR CHS alignment, as
this results in not-4k aligned partitions.

The Dell Precision Tower 5810 fails to boot from GPT in Legacy/BIOS mode
without the Active flag in the Protective MBR. Suggest the workaround
during installation.
Since an increasing number of Dell systems exhibit this behavior,
I imagine all Dells past a certain date will do so. I would like
to suggest the workaround for all Dells with a BIOS date of, say,
2014 or later, but I would need to test a variety of systems before
committing such a change.

- Rework MANIFEST generation and parsing via bsdinstall(8).
- Allow selecting debugging distribution sets during install.
- Rework bsdinstall(8) to fetch remote debug distribution sets
when they are not available on the local install medium.
- Allow selecting additional non-GENERIC kernels during install.
At present, GENERIC is still required, and installed by default.

For Lenovo laptops with buggy bios (x220, t420, t520):
Write the 0xee entry into the second slot in the pmbr instead of the first
For some Dell and HP models:
The BIOS gives a warning message when booting in legacy mode from a GPT partitioned disk where the 0xee partition in the pmbr is not flagged active
For models known to have this problem, mark the pmbr active during installation
Use smbios data to identify machines known to be affected by any of the above, and offer the user the option to apply the workaround
In bsdinstall's ufs auto mode (autopart partition wizard):
Allow users to select which type of partition table to use
Keep current defaults: MBR for BIOS, GPT for UEFI
This allows users to choose GPT for legacy boot if they wish
