Discussion:
[PATCH] Cope with / being on a ZFS root dataset

If / is on the root dataset in a ZFS pool, then ${bootfs} will be set to
"/" (whereas if it is on a non-root dataset, there will be no trailing
slash). Passing "root=ZFS=${rpool}/" will fail to boot, but
"root=ZFS=${rpool}" works fine, so strip the trailing slash.
