Elsukov That ran without errors.. but sadly did not solve my problem of the UEFI = not recognizing it as a bootable disk. I think the problem is my = particular UEFI doesn't recognize GPT drives that don't have an EFI = partition on them.=20 So I gave up. My server has been down for too long. I took half the = zfs mirror, created it with a MBR partition and installed FreeBSD 9.2 on = it, and my UEFI can boot it in legacy mode. =46rom there I can mount = the other half of the mirror and copy files off. A painful process but = at least I have a way forward. =20 Thanks for the suggestions. =20 --Andy=
