Where is it? :-) >> > Ooops, link corrected its at: http://blog.multiplay.co.uk/dropzone/freebsd/freebsd-10-efi-zfs-boot.tgz Thanks, that one works. Meanwhile, I setup a -CURRENT VM for testing https://reviews.freebsd.org/D4104 directly. I can build the boot1.efi loader just fine, and install it into an EFI partition, but the resulting VM does not boot. The console looks like this: >> FreeBSD EFI boot block Loader path: /boot/loader.efi Initializing modules: ZFS UFS Could not load file Could not load file panic: No bootable partitions found! Any clue? (It would be very nice if it printed *which* file it could not load, btw.) The VM was setup with two mirrored disks, using the Auto ZFS option during installation, like this: $ gpart show => 40 209715120 da0 GPT (100G) 40 1024 1 freebsd-boot (512K) 1064 984 - free - (492K) 2048 8388608 2 freebsd-swap (4.0G) 8390656 201322496 3 freebsd-zfs (96G) 209713152 2008 - free - (1.0M) => 40 209715120 da1 GPT (100G) 40 1024 1 freebsd-boot (512K) 1064 984 - free - (492K) 2048 8388608 2 freebsd-swap (4.0G) 8390656 201322496 3 freebsd-zfs (96G) 209713152 2008 - free - (1.0M) After rebuilding and reinstalling world with the D4104 patch, I deleted the freebsd-boot partitions, created EFI partitions in their place, created msdosfs filesystems on them, and copied the boot1.efi loader to those filesystems. -Dimitry [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.28 iEYEARECAAYFAlZqrawACgkQsF6jCi4glqOidQCgwfpv+xKKjnGRs1iWCv2drWv3 4xoAn3FH0VoiTgq/VcpiXP6E1YptRvC1 =PPUQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----help
