Yes I did. However I figured out my problem. I was chrooted into /dist and the zpool.cache was being written to /boot/zfs (as you mention). But because of the chroot, when I checked /boot/zfs, I was *really* checking /dist/boot/zfs. Thus my problem. :) However I'm still having difficulty. I suspect I don't have a /boot/loader that supports zfs filesystems as I just boot to the 'OK" prompt. An 'lsdev' only shows BIOS devices but I've seen posts on the Net that indicate I should have zfs devices listed there too if I have a proper /boot/loader. I've used the one from both 7.2-RELEASE.iso and 8.0-BETA1.iso but no luck. Do you know of any way I can confirm or deny my suspicion? Thanks, Drew -- Be a Great Magician!
