Booting from ZFS

This is a fairly good summary of the current state of things, as the Radxa 5B and the CM3588 both use the RK3588 chip. So if ZFS had support for Linux 6.13 it might be easier to diagnose.

It also suggests using uboot, and trying that may not be a bad Idea - if it works with ZFS it would already have an advantage over the status quo.
