The FreeBSD wiki entry (http://wiki.freebsd.org/ZFSOnRoot) is either outdated or incomplete; or it's just that I have no clue... In either case, the guide tells me to create a "boot" symlink on the new partition, but I already have such a file (/boot/boot, not a link): [root@devil ~]# file /boot/boot /boot/boot: x86 boot sector; partition 4: ID=0xa5, active, starthead 0, startsector 0, 50000 sectors, code offset 0x3c, reserved sectors 0, Media descriptor 0x0, reserved 0x16, dos < 4.0 BootSector (0x1f) What to do? I have no idea if this file is needed or not, and how to proceed. Input is welcome. BTW, I'm new to FreeBSD-CURRENT, and also quite inexperienced with mailing lists, so be gentle. :) Thanks, Thomas PS. Will the new bootable partition automatically show up in the boot manager? I haven't rebooted to check yet. DS.
