Top Post, I know... but has anyone on @current tried a full on ZFS on ROOT
with GPTZFSBOOT?
Both Drew and I have both tried the guide at
http://lulf.geeknest.org/blog/freebsd/Setting_up_a_zfs-only_system/ (dead
link now :( )
I get as far as the message I detailed before using parts from another
guide. I am hoping for both of us, that someone here knows even a little
bit.
I installed 8.0-BETA1 on ZFS 2 days ago. It works. I did following steps:
1. Boot from bootable USB-flash (Minimal FreeBSD installation with copy of
install CD).
2. Create partitions
# gpart show ad0
=> 34 312581741 ad0 GPT (149G)
34 256 1 freebsd-boot (128K)
290 4194304 2 freebsd-swap (2.0G)
4194594 251658240 3 freebsd-zfs (120G)
255852834 56728941 - free - (27G)
3. Create zpool and filesystem hierarchy
4. Install FreeBSD from copy of install CD to ZFS. I used sysinstall with custom
options (Install Root and Media Type)
5. Create /etc/fstab, /etc/rc.conf, /etc/src.conf, /boot/loader.conf
http://wiki.freebsd.org/ZFSOnRootWithZFSboot#line-118
6. Install ZFS aware /boot/loader
http://wiki.freebsd.org/ZFSOnRootWithZFSboot#line-144
7. Create zpool.cache
8. Install ZFS boot:
# gpart bootcode -b /zroot/boot/pmbr ad0
# gpart bootcode -p /zroot/boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 ad0
9. Change mount points for zroot pool and reboot.
It's all.
