Nice to have the reminder about the zpool.cache. (Do I have to > use the Live CD mode? Can I use shell mode instead?) --As for the rest, it is mine. Ok, I've tried shell mode and live CD mode. I've re-partitioned my disks several different ways. Nothing gets me a system that will actually boot. Or even recognize that there is an OS loaded anywhere. Help? (My preferred partitioning: ada1: 1 freebsd-boot 2 freebsd-swap 8G 3 freebsd-zfs 4G (zil) 4 freebsd-zfs 17G (cache) ada0: Managed by ZFS, ~250G Main filesystem. This takes advantage of the mSATA SSD in ada1.) Daniel T. Staal --------------------------------------------------------------- This email copyright the author.
