chimaera: Stucking with zfs on root - mount and other errors

Created a base chimeara setup on one disk and setup zfs.
Works, can create/destroy pools and filesystems.
Then create a bootstrap setup, following the instruction for debian bookworm(!!!), ignoring
just the systemd part. In a first glance, everything was ok, installed simple software and
rebooted several times - until I snapshotted the rpool and bpool (syspool/bootpool for me).
Found grub bug description and mounted the pools, upgraded to grub from backport.
After bottable again, a lot of error coming up, which may have to do with mount-orde.

Configuring network interfaces...if-up.d/mountnfs[eth3]: waiting for interface eth1 before doing NFS
 mounts ... (warning).

 Starting enhanced syslogd: rsyslogdrsyslogd: $WorkDirectory: /var/spool/rsyslog can not be accessed,
 probably does not exist - directive ignored [v8.2302.0 try https://www.rsyslog.com/e/2181 ]

>dir exist (perms: root/root)

Sharing ZFS filesystems failed to lock /etc/exports.d/zfs.exports.lock: No such file or directory

uups! dont understand!
>Can import/export pools and are mounts are like set in the installtion.

configfs not found in /proc/mount: exiting!

rsyslog does not accept messages from logger (but after restarting it),
same for ulogd2.

I just shortly made a "recommendation" in the ZFS group to provide detailed instructions for
sysv init systems - but his if future ....
Other instructions I found on Galaxy, skip the setup of the filesystems with its individual mount,
which are probably the root of the problem.

Have had a look for the configfs - I dont understand it. Looked at two other devuan installations
(live and standard [in KVM]) and there, it is at least not mounted.

Here are my zfs mounts

$ zfs list -r -o name,canmount,mounted,overlay,mountpoint
