Done. No expected output. Iow, no message containing this:

short write to %s: %jd bytes written, %jd bytes asked to write

Still the same failure:
===> zfs (install)
install -o root -g wheel -m 555   zfs.ko /netboot/powerpc64/boot/kernel
install -o root -g wheel -m 555   zfs.ko.symbols 
/netboot/powerpc64/boot/kernel
install: /netboot/powerpc64/boot/kernel/zfs.ko.symbols: No such file or 
directory
*** [_kmodinstall] Error code 71

Does it matter what filesystem the local dir is on?

Here the output from mount:

/dev/ada0p4 on /export (ufs, NFS exported, local, journaled soft-updates)

[root@tcx58] /usr/obj/> df -k .
Filesystem  1024-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/ada0p4   132098652 30672276 90858484    25%    /export

I'm off at work for the rest of the day. I'll try if I can reproduce the 
issue there as well.

Thanks a lot!
Andreas
