One of our amd64 servers runs 9.0-RC2 (releng/9.0@r228325) with a zfs root.
It fails to boot the 9.0-RELEASE (releng/9.0@r229305) GENERIC kernel (self compiled) with a mountfrom error: http://people.apache.org/~danielsh/infra/loki-20120215-mountfrom.png mountfrom> zfs:zroot Trying to mount root from zfs:zroot []... Mounting from zfs:zroot failed with error 2. We've tried to upgrade the zpool format 15->28; the symptoms are unchanged. (The zroot fs is at version 4.) Why does 9.0-RC2 boot while 9.0-RELEASE (as /boot/testkernel) doesn't? What can do to boot 9.0-RELEASE from our zfs root filesystem? Thanks.
