But "zfs mount", if I am not mistaken, cannot be used to mount a
filesystem with the mountpoint=legacy attribute; the mount command
must be used for that.

Are you saying that legacy filesystems cannot be mounted on NetBSD
systems?  That there is just no way to do it?  That seems bizarre and
implausible, can that truly be the case?  Has no one on this mailing
list figured out a way to mount a ZFS legacy filesystem on NetBSD?
