Thank you for your reply. The pool was created with version 5000. I have
updated the boot blocks before (but with exporting pool after). I don't
think that ezjail-admin has anything to do with booting.

I did as you suggested and it didn't help, still MOS can't be read. I'm
pretty sure I can reproduce this problem. I will try to do detailed
guide and post it here.
