I'm not sure now. Could you try

(hd0,gpt2)tank0/root@/boot/kernel/kernel

? I will update documentation then.

Actually I start to suspect that the correct name would be

(hd0,gpt2)tank0@/boot/kernel/kernel

Looking at code it does not strip initial slash and it is not part
of dataset name ...

I usually do

./autogen.sh
./configure
make dist-bz

configure options do not matter as make dist is supposed to produce
exactly the same result on every platform. If you find some missing
files, please report.
