I can say that I have had great success with the MFSBSD .iso available from; http://mfsbsd..vx.sk It is at version 8.2-RELEASE on both i386 and amd64. Setting up a ZFS only installation has worked without error on both Intel Core2 duo and amd64 (athlon64). I have had to do some ZFS tuning once the base system was installed. 4G of ram appears to be rather sparse on either architecture. Adding disks to the pools and changing the filesystem layouts to comply with my requirements was painless. Generally, it just worked. I was then able to csup the kernel source, userland, and ports tree. Keeping the ports tree current fixed most all of my build problems. Over the last year I have had machines on FreeBSD 8.0, PC BSD, NetBSD, kFreeBSD and back to FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE (with ZFS) On the main workstation I use for testing, an AMD Athlon64 with 3G of ram, make buildkernel takes 30 - 40 minutes and make buildworld takes several hours. ZFS is ver. 15. I've found the docs available from SUN/Oracle to be very helpful. http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E19253-01/819-5461 Hope this helps somewhat. Michael
