Well, no, of course I didn't. :-/ The recent conversations on the list about grub and such failed to convey to my brain that I needed to. But, if grub supports zfs (which I thought it did), can I install grub into a zfs partition? right now, I just have one big zfs partition that's part of a zraid. I understood that grub supported zfs. So, I guess i'm not clear on what I need to do to "create a BIOS boot partition". nb, I _don't_ want to have a single filesystem on a single disk, I want to be able to handle disk failure, thus much the point of root-on-ZFS. Thanks. - Chris
