Hi guys,
I've not a whole lot of experience with ZFS. I did a search and dburke came back with as close as I can get. I did a zfsroot install as documented here. Since I had both ad0 and ad1 as identical IDE 10G drives (test drives), I followed the above RootOnZFS link on both disks. After the setup of ZFS on root, then extracting the tarballs like I always successfully do, the system cannot POST now. It gets as far as probing HDD information, then locks up. yes, locks up.
For stats reason, I did a ZFS mirror on ad0 and ad1, since I didn't have 3 physical disks to do a raidz. i386 host with 1.5GB ram.
I'm lost on how bits on a platter affect the identifying information on the HDD circuitboard.
Ideas?
