I use btrfs for my system, I used: ROOTFS=btrfs setup-disk -m sys /mnt
When installing the system; I think this just add "btrfs" to the "features" section in /etc/mkinitfs/mkinitfs.conf so that the initrd has the correct modules.
I also have to add this kernel command line parameter to the bootloader: modules=btrfs
According to the Alpine WIki, the only filesystems supported by the setup-disk script are ext{2,3,4} & btrfs:

Thanks for the confirmation.
Hello, I just saw in an announcement that alpine 3.5 is able to boot a zfs root now, is there a guide already somewhere for it?
Hi,
I would also appreciate such wiki page, which would describe process of configuration of ZFS as a root file system.
