hi,

I wanted to move my installation to ZFS today. So, I followed this guide:
http://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS/ZFSBootPartition

[CMD=]# gpart show ad6s1[/cmd]
Code: 
=>       0  96389937  ad6s1  BSD  (46G)
         0  87600000      1  freebsd-zfs  (42G)
  87600000   8789937      2  freebsd-swap  (4.2G)


[CMD=]# cat /POOL/boot/loader.conf[/cmd]
Code: 
zfs_load="YES"           # ZFS
vfs.root.mountfrom="zfs:POOL"
kern.hz="1000"           # Set the kernel interval timer rate
geom_label_load="YES"		 # File system labels (see glabel(8))
geom_mbr_load="YES"      # Needed for DOS logical partitons

hw.psm.synaptics_support="1"

[CMD=]#zfs list[/cmd]
Code:

The kernel loads ok but vfs.root.mountfrom="zfs:POOL" seems to fail.

Ideas ?
 
Now I feel stupid. zpool.cache didn't get copied over somehow.

Sorry for the noise.

Edit:
I just found out editing the wiki is not two clicks away.
Can someone edit the page to stress that copying the cache is not optional?
