Booting FreeBSD 11.0 RELEASE i386 installer into single-user mode and accepting default shell: # zpool import -f -o mountpoint=/mnt bootpool ZFS NOTICE: KSTACK_PAGES is 2 which could result in stack overflow panic! Please consider adding 'options KSTACK_PAGES=4' to your kernel config ZFS NOTICE: Prefetch is disabled by default on i386 -- to enable, add "vfs.zfs.prefetch_disable=0" to /boot/loader.conf. ZFS WARNING: Recommended minimum kmem_size is 512 MB; expect unstable behavior. Consider tuning vm.kmem_size and vm.kmem_size_max in /boot/loader.conf. ZFS filesystem version: 5 ZFS storage pool version: features support (5000) property 'mountpoint' is not a valid pool property David
