 Yes, the zfsroot ramdisk doesn't have the firmware that nouveau(4)
 needs, and I guess we don't have a mechanism for getting it out of
 another file system like the one the ramdisk was found on.  Annoying!
 
 It is possible to build the zfsroot ramdisk with firmware.  I have the
 attached patch in my netbsd-9 tree, which I had forgotten about.  The
 patch does it for cgdroot (which I also locally patched to do zfs on
 cgd as well) but it should be straightforward to adapt to zfsroot.
