Has anyone seen this? I've just installed a ZFS only build following = the instructions at (http://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS/GPTZFSBoot). = After rebooting after the install, the POST won't complete (it appears = to be looking at the disks for something). If I unplug the drives and = reboot, POST completes. If I then destroy the GPT partitions and = install MBR, I can now get past POST (but with a corrupted installation = that won't boot). =20 Some info: Motherboard: MSI Neo2 Disks: 2x 500GB Seagates (I created a mirrored pool during = installation). Could this just be a crappy BIOS issue? I'd hate to have to scrap = GPT/ZFS and go back to MBR/UFS. Any ideas? Thanks. -John
