Is that what others are doing? I've been doing the install-and-then-movie variant. Right now I have however prepared a full freebsd installation on a USB stick, so that I can just boot that and 'make installworld && make distribution' + do the necessary grub and/or boot0cfg stuff required. I have not yet actually used it for a ZFS install, but I imagine I will love myself for preparing it the next time I need to do such an install ;) I like the approach since you have a 100% complete system available (all the tools or whatnot; can install any ports required or whatever). So as long as I am somehow able to pull off the boot off of usb, I should be set regardless of wonky features of the system I am installing on, or of the intended installation. --=20 / Peter Schuller PGP userID: 0xE9758B7D or 'Peter Schuller ' Key retrieval: Send an E-Mail to getpgpkey@scode.org E-Mail: peter.schuller@infidyne.com Web: http://www.scode.org --0F1p//8PRICkK4MW Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFHCAZ+DNor2+l1i30RAkWpAJ4gFtVnK78ETciqvGJxPb5t0jSNmgCghI/P EOSmmkA5CSb8Y29uUVMoNcg= =IIGH -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --0F1p//8PRICkK4MW--
