Bruno: So does it mount OK after you manually enter the root? I'm having a problem very frequently where it picks up the zfs_load="YES" vfs.root.mountfrom="zfs:tank/root" OK in the loader, but hangs when booting at: ------ . . . WARNING: ZFS is considered to be an experimental feature in FreeBSD ZFS filesystem version 6 ZFS storage pool version 6 Trying to mount root from zfs:tank/root ------ and then it just sits there. But on other occasions, it gets past that and boots fine. This is without recompiling or anything - so I'm not sure what's changing (LOR?) Anyhow, not sure if that's the same what you're seeing, but I thought I'd mention it. Barry
