There are a few tutorials around here. I'd suggest starting with the following: http://lulf.geeknest.org/blog/freebsd/Setting_up_a_zfs-only_system/ What's in there could help: http://wiki.freebsd.org/AppleMacbook Here is a translation into English of a french blog post about gpt only: http://translate.google.com/translate?prev=hp&hl=en&js=n&u=http%3A%2F%2Fbaptux.free.fr%2Findex.php%3Fpost%2F2009%2F04%2F18%2FChanger-le-disque-systeme-sur-FreeBSD&sl=fr&tl=en I also attach a script I've found (maybe here) too, to be used as an example. For the moment booting is only accepted from single or mirrored zpool, not raidz/raidz2 although Doug Rabson has patches for both. I plan to try to summarize all these into a wiki article (unless someone beat me to it) by playing with my vmware fusion setup. I plan to have a new server at home soon and ant it full zfs... -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- FreeBSD: The Power to Serve! -=- roberto@keltia.freenix.fr In memoriam to Ondine : http://ondine.keltia.net/ --nFreZHaLTZJo0R7j--
