I said that was my preferred partitioning. I had tried others. ;) I just double-checked putting the bootcode on ada0. It doesn't help. (Note that if it did that'd be an interesting regression from 8.2. My home server is running with *only* the bootcode on one drive, and the OS loaded from a ZFS RAIDZ array.) Daniel T.
