Hi all,

i am getting the error message in $subject when trying to boot from zfs.
I followed the instructions found in:

http://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS/GPTZFSBoot/Mirror

Before posting all config details and asking what i might have done =
wrong: Is there any possibility to get a more detailed error message =
than just ROOT MOUNT ERROR? e.g. zpool not found | zpool could not be =
imported | illegal mount options | etc

The kernel reports that it is trying to mount from zfs:zroot, which is =
correct. The zfs kernel module is being loaded.
