If I have to restart the computer without using shutdown ex: just pressing power because it is not responding when I reboot, it panics before I can go into single user mode or do anything. The only thing I can get into is either A: the boot loader which I don't know if there's anything in there that would help me, or B: I can start with the installation CD and invoke a shell or live session in which case I don't even know how to poke around because I have no experience with ZFS. I don't even know how to mount the pool to scrub it if that would help, can you tell me how. I have had to reinstall 3 times because of this and its getting annoying. I'd much rather learn how to fix the problem. It's almost like the disk getting dirty from restarting that way and it needs to be fsck'ed but I know that doesn't exist with ZFS. So what else could be the problem? I appreciate your help and patience as this is my first ZFS box. Thanks!

portsnap fetch extract
running and came here on this box to write this post, when I went to the box everything was hung. I had to power cycle it and now it panics upon boot. I am not going to reinstall this again as I just did, I'll wait for some output here from you guys maybe you can get me in it. If it helps it says fatal double fault panic: double fault. Right when it tries to mount zroot.
