Happy New Year! > > Is already possible to boot directly from zfs ?? Yes. Look at http://blogs.freebsdish.org/lulf/category/freebsd/ for a ZFS-only FreeBSD using GPT. This is for -CURRENT only. For an MBR partition table scheme, it's more complicated. I wasn't able to boot from a ZFS pool on my amd64 system, but maybe I'm doing something wrong. Look at threads on this list from late 2008, and especially the "LOADER_ZFS_SUPPORT=yes" option and how to install the zfsboot loader with dd.
