Author: pjd Date: Fri Sep 17 22:59:15 2010 New Revision: 212805 URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/212805 Log: Before VirtualBox is fixed, mark with #ifdef what has to be done to make it possible to boot from ZFS RAIDZ for example from within VirtualBox. The problem with VirtualBox is that its BIOS reports only one disk present. If we choose to ignore this report, we can find all the disks available. We can't have this work-around to be turned on by default, because some broken BIOSes report true when it comes to number of disks, but present the same disk multiple times.
