   I have Debian with ZFS native encrypted rootfs booting on a Radxa ROCK 5 ITX. The only remaining issue is that the passphrase isn't passed from ZFSBootMenu to Debian's initramfs, so it has to be entered twice. Should be fixable.

     @ryanc Can you pass arbitrary kernel parameters, or are they checked against a known list? If the former, you might be able to read it in the initramfs environment from /proc/cmdline?

     I've never actually used ZFSBootMenu, but maybe there's a pass-through option like this...
