Will do - it behaves the same even without PXE. I believe the issue is that kern.proc.pathname does not exist on any of my systems Mel > On 19 Apr 2016, at 11:19, Eugene Grosbein <eugen@grosbein.net> wrote: > > CCing Edward Tomasz Napierala, "Root Remount" project contact. > > On 19.04.2016 16:42, Melissa Jenkins wrote: >> My apologies: >> >> [root@test:~]# sysctl -A kern.proc.pathname >> [root@test:~]# kenv vfs.root.mountfrom >> nfs:nfsserver:/bootenv/10.3 >> [root@test:~]# kenv vfs.root.mountfrom=zfs:test/root_role >> vfs.root.mountfrom="zfs:test/root_role" >> [root@test:~]# reboot -r >> [root@test:~]# >> >> Apr 19 09:35:28 test reroot: rerooted by melissa >> Apr 19 09:35:28 test init: failed to get kern.proc.pathname: No such file or directory >> Apr 19 09:35:28 test init: reroot failed; going to single user mode >> Apr 19 09:35:28 test root: /etc/rc: WARNING: could not store hostuuid in /etc/hostid. >> Apr 19 09:35:31 test root: /etc/rc: WARNING: failed to start dev >> >> It actually doesn't do seem to either drop to single user mode or actually kill anything off.

I've then created a zfs file system on local disks, installed the operating system in it and would like to 'restart the system into' this new file system.
