Quoting from gen_initramfs.sh: # The ZFS tools want the hostid in order to find the right pool. # Assume the initramfs we're building is for this system, so copy # our current hostid into it. printf "$(echo "${hostid}" | sed 's/\([0-9A-F]\{2\}\)/\\x\1/gI')" > ${TEMP}/initramfs-base-temp/etc/hostid ... this is very optimistic and in general wrong.

So just copy that existing file. If file is missing tell user that kernel command-line parameter "spl_hostid=<hostid>" must be used. Same is true when generated initramfs is used for multiple systems.
