The release notes for FreeBSD 7.3 said that it could boot to zfs. I did not see any options for doing that via the normal install. I followed the instructions here: http://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS/GPTZFSBoot When I reboot, I get: can't load 'kernel' I wiped the disk and tried again to verify I didn't miss a step. Same result. I saw a suggestion that zfs.cache needed to be copied. I did that during the setup, but I tried doing it again from Fixit. Same result. The other suggestion I saw was to do section 2 step 7 "again." That shouldn't be necessary for 7.3, but I tried it anyway. Still seeing "can't load 'kernel'." Any suggestions for getting FreeBSD 7.3 to boot to ZFS? Thanks, Dan
