Is the pool on slices or whole drives? If the latter, you should be able to import the pool (unless BSD introduces any incompatibilities). > I'm not sure how to go about it.

Yes, I had a system booting of CD cards (in an IDE/CF adapter). -- Ian. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
