Hello,

This panic has occurred on two completely configurations (laptop in VirtualBox 
and PC native disk). Basically after the installation of b114 (ZFS root) has 
completed, the system will not boot, and panics in vfs_mountroot(). The image 
is fine; verified by checksum.

On the PC installation, what I get is the following (the relevant bits):

NOTICE: zfs_parse_bootfs: error 2

Cannot mount root on rpool/ROOT/53 fstyp zfs

panic[cpu0]/thread=fffffffffbc2d120: vfs_mountroot cannot mount root

Then:

fffffffffbcfeec0: genunix: vfs_mountroot + 350 ()

Sadly thereafter, the keyboard is inactive (KB is directly connected).

Failsafe boot is fine. Then, I basically booted single-user from the DVD, and 
successfully imported rpool. I received the EROFS errors that you would expect 
when doing zpool import from booted DVD; and ignored them for the current 
purpose.

Now, on the fail on the laptop with VirtualBox, the problem went away on a 
reboot after the boot archive had been updated, so to avoid this, on the PC, I 
hit the reset button. Thereafter the system booted fine, and proceeded with the 
usual post-installation configuration stuff.

So basically it looks to me like rpool had been left in a state at the end of 
the installation where it was not mountable (exported), and a simple import of 
it (whether through a failsafe boot or a single-user boot from DVD) cleared 
this state and made it mountable once more. Actually just confirmed this... 
booted single-user from DVD again, imported rpool successfully (ignoring 
errors), then exported rpool and hit the reset. On next hard disk boot, 
received the same vfs_mountroot panic.

This looks like a bug. Also, any thoughts why there should be no keyboard input 
possible to KMDB?

Thanks and regards... Sean.
