As a result, it is impossible to install freebsd on a zfs volume. >How-To-Repeat: Get ftp://ftp.no.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/ISO-IMAGES/8.1/FreeBSD-8.1-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img and copy it to a memorystick with dd. Boot from the memory stick, select Fixit from the menu, select USB. In the resulting shell, try kldload /mnt2/boot/kernel/zfs.ko Result: kldload: can't load /mnt2/boot/kernel/zfs.ko: Exec format error I tried a few other kernel modules at random with the same result. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
