OK, it works very well. Installing a ZFS FreeBSD system with an

I'd like to install FreeBSD (pcbsd) on a (zfs) mirror
In OpenSolaris you can install directly to the zfs mirror, but
how's this in this situation> After all, an UFS partitin is also
created. How can I get the equivalent of an OpenSolaris mirrored
install for a FreeBSD system?
Hope I phrased the question clearly enough.

Hello Community,
Like others said in their answer to your question, you don't have to
put /boot on UFS, just go with root on ZFS.
If you would like speed when installing the system I recommend mfsBSD
- http://mfsbsd.vx.sk/. As pointed out
in the web page there is a script (zfsinstall) that does all the work
for you. It does all the steps described in the
wiki - http://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS/GPTZFSBoot/Mirror.
If you want to gain knowledge about the process of installing FreeBSD
with root on ZFS then go with the wiki
article. Using mfsBSD I install a 8.2-STABLE custom system in under 5
seconds. That's pretty neat :).
OK, I tried mfsbsd. I had the iso loaded at ata1 master and
freebsd-8.2-dvd as ata1 slave.
I booted my VM; mfsbsd came up fine. I mounted my fbsd dvd drive on
/cdrom and tried to run the zfsinstall script. Alas, it refuses.. It
can't find the (needed!) 8.2-RELEASE.???tgz file It does not exist.
There is only a directory 8.2-RELEASE (on DVD as well as on CDROM ).
Question: is this a bug in zfsinstall script?
How do I work around it?
