9.0 Beta 2: bsdinstall and ZFS on Root

Hi,

it seems like the new bsdinstall still can't create ZFS pools/filesystems . Is there a way to do the zfs root pool creation process in the shell and let bsdinstall do the actual installation? When dropping into the shell it says something putting an fstab somewhere but zfs does not use fstabs.

I have no problem doing all the partitioning and pool creation by hand, but installing the OS that way seems very cumbersome.

Regards

Yes, this helps, though it is a negative answer to my question (if I understand you correctly)

That is correct. ZFS installation is not supported by the new BSD installer.
