I'm using a ZFS root, so I used the wiki's RootOnZFS page to install (which doesn't use sysinstall, and doesn't mention /compat). So is this a case of a non-standard installation being unsupported? Should the wiki be changed to include that symlink? Or should one of the install scripts be changed to make the symlink?home | help
