Hello Chris, Scott & Current
I use gptzfsboot on my AMD64 (current) machine all the time and also on
my laptop. I am not sure if this will cause the problem you are seeing but I
know I ran into a lot of trouble depending on what type of pool I was
creating.
I believe this is correct, and if I am not than I apologise in advance,
but....
If you are trying to boot off a linear type pool (A single disk or a
mirror) your bootable filing system has to be a zfs filing system beneath the
root pool (IE: zroot/boot). If you are trying to boot off a zraid pool, your
bootable filing system must be the root filing system of the pool (IE: zroot)
You must also include the appropriate declaration in the
/boot/loader.conf file:
(for a zraid pool)
zfs_load="YES"
vfs.root.mountfrom="zfs:zpool"
(for a linear type)
zfs_load="YES"
vfs.root.mountfrom="zfs:zpool/root"
If I try any other method, zboot explodes in a myriad of different
ways.
I hope this helps
Peg
