Hi, I want to install freebsd9 (stable) on zfs root, unfortunately my bios is unable to recognize GPT discs. I'm using MBR disc, with BSD slice (on mbr index 4) containing freebsd-zfs filesystem. I've no idea how to make it bootable, I've tried using: zpool export sys dd if=/boot/zfsboot of=/dev/ada0s4 count=1 dd if=/boot/zfsboot of=/dev/ada0s4a skip=1 seek=1024 zpool import sys When I select F4 (slice with zfs) whilst booting the computer just turns off. How do I make it boot? Do I need freebsd-boot slice? I have set bootfs property on pool, and added vfs.root.mountfrom to loader.conf. Cheers, Łukasz Gruner
