A note for the release notes. If you have an existing install, it can be
'repaired' easily:

zpool import -f bootpool
zpool set cachefile=/boot/zfs/zpool.cache bootpool

This will add the bootpool to the existing zpool.cache (which contains
the data for your main pool)

This only applies to users who opted to encrypt their zpool.
