Hi, I want to open a bug report on this, but have no idea how to gather useful info. Attempting to install FreeBSD-12.0-CURRENT-amd64-20170301-r314495-memstick.img onto an eight-drive iX system. This machine previously ran -current, but the OS has been sadly used by book testing and I decided to do a clean install. Used the Guided ZFS install, no networking, no extra users, default security. I want a two-way mirror for the base install, and the BIOS didn't provide serial numbers for each disk, so I wound up doing multiple installs, thinking that once I installed to the disk that the BIOS expected to be a boot disk, it'd find the pool and boot. Each of the four installs failed to boot, giving me: gptzfsboot: error 1 lba 32 error 1 gptzfsboot: error 1 lba 4294967288 gptzfsboot: error 1 lba 1 gptzfsboot: No ZFS pools located, can't boot Old disklabels? gpart -F destroy da0 through ada3. and reinstall. Nope. In frustration I did an eight-disk mirror install. Got the same message. Fine, I'll install to the Intel RAID satadom. It's a raid config, but it'll get me a working system. Select a ZFS stripe on raid/r0. gpart: arg0 'raid/r0': Invalid argument Mirror on the individual satadom drives? Same boot message. Any suggestions on how to gather debugging info for this?
