jasonwc's Notes
Using "Ubuntu 18.04 Root on ZFS" Instructions on Debian Buster (Testing Live DVD):
1) Must add contrib repository and run apt update before installing zfs-initramfs
2) Must run "modprobe zfs" before creating pool
3) /etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml doesn't exist on Debian
4) Different apt lists, must add contrib
5) apt install --yes locales is necessary before configuring locales
6) nano is already installed by debootstrap
7) Different package names for kernel so you need "apt install --yes dpkg-dev linux-headers-$(uname -r) linux-image-amd64" . However, "apt install --yes zfs-initramfs" works (the current debian instructions also include zfs-dkms but zfs-initramfs depends on zfs-dkms)
8) The 5.4 Grub instructions don't apply to Debian. The 5.3 instructions on the Debian guide are correct.
9) Instead of 8.2, you would just run tasksel on Debian
Note: While the Debian instructions currently state that it's necessary to edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config to allow password authentication, this is the default configuration. Thus, the Ubuntu instructions work.
