Hi folks, I'm in the annoying position of having to replace my rootdisk (since it's a [EMAIL PROTECTED]@$! maxtor and dying). I'm currently running with zfsroot after following Tabriz' and TimF's procedure to enable that. However, I'd like to know whether there's a better way to get zfs root/boot happening? The mini-ufs partition kludge is getting a bit tired :)
My plan for the moment (with build45, the most recent iso that I have) is to * install the new disk * boot to singleuser off the media * create a swap slice and an "everythingelse" slice on the new disk * zpool create rootpool everythingelse slice * reboot and start the installer * convince the installer that I don't need to partition anything * install to the new rootpool. The second last step is where I imagine the most difficulty will arise. Is there anything that springs to mind which I could do to ensure it works? thanks in advance, James C.
