Thanks, Darren. However, when I try that I get this: --------------- root@:/root # zpool import -c /tmp/zpool.cache -o altroot=/mnt zroot failed to open cache file: No such file or directory cannot import 'zroot': no such pool available root@:/root # --------------- I used a Live CD boot again and tried this: --------------- root@:/root # zpool status ZFS filesystem version 5 ZFS storage pool version 28 no pools available root@:/root # --------------- Trying this a different way: Do you see something that Niclas's directions are missing? I.e rather than trying to patch a mis-installed system, what should be done differently to build a system that boots correctly the first time? Thanks for your help! Jay B.
