Hello everyone, I just would like to gratuitously rant about something that happened on my machine. Basically, I upgraded my zpool to use embedded_data, since it would be more efficient, and rebooted. (I installed the system with zfs using bsdinstall). It turned out that gptzfsboot wasn't able to load that filesystem, so I tried to get it working from a live system that I have on a USB drive. It didn't work on that particular live system, but, fortunately, someone could do me a favor and download the latest snapshot, and burn it to my USB drive. >From there, it was a matter of importing zroot, mounting it at /mnt, and taking a look at the code of bsdinstall, trying to find the actual command to update the bootloader. I could manage to find it, and hopefully, everything worked again. Thanks to those who helped me :) What would be the better way to avoid this happening in the future? -- Daniel
