Hi Peter, When I do manual zfs partitioning during installs, i follow the commands used by the actual bsdinstall scripts (the ones that would have been executed if I used the auto mode). A copy of them can be viewed online here: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/usr.sbin/bsdinstall/scripts/zfsboot?view=markup#l1313 Essentially the zpool create command needs to have: zpool create -o altroot=/mnt -O compress=lz4 -O atime=off -m none -f zroot raidz2 /dev/gpt/disk0 ...
