Hi, When installing 9.0 RC1 on our HP servers, we of course wanted to use = gpt intead of fdisk. However, it doesn't work. First I tried gptzfsboot, it failed with an error (see this thread: = http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2011-August/026175.html= ) Second, I tried a standard gptboot, it just goes into a boot loop. Seriously, we have a couple of idle machines with ciss(4) and an iLO = (for remote connections). If someone has the knowledge and time to try = and fix the problems with ciss and gpt boot, we have the equipment for = it. We tried with a standard vanilla zpool, no mirror or raid at all, on top = of a ciss raid-5, and it failed with RC1. [trying RC2 now, but seems = nothing is changed?]. Anyone up to the task of finding this culprit, we can let you into the = machine remotely through the iLO. Please let me know. Best reagards Palle Girgensohn girgen@FreeBSD.org=
