I don't think you could have summed up what I hoped could happen any better! I do hope that you will also consider keeping the MBR boot code in there. That was I think the most difficult piece of the puzzle. Everything is GPT centric, but I just got a brand new little intel atom device that will not boot off of the default GPT install. > Yes, I had a quick glance at it and I especially liked the first part > using SSH from the beginning. Thank you. If it was not for ssh and virtual machine snapshots, I think I would have abandoned ZFS until it made it into the handbook or installer. Thanks, Cody
