Subject:   After installing a ZFS only build, machine won't complete POST

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.
