FreeBSD 9 CURRENT on ZFS

I follow this article about how to install FreeBSD on ZFS. Everything was fine until section 10 (Install FreeBSD).
Command just do nothing. I wait 2 hours. No errors but still tar?

Try installing them one by one. You can also add a -v switch to make it verbose.

[CMD=""]# do (cat $base.txz | tar --unlink -xpvJf - -C ${DESTDIR:-/}); done[/CMD]
[CMD=""]# do (cat $lib32.txz | tar --unlink -xpvJf - -C ${DESTDIR:-/}); done[/CMD]
[CMD=""]# ...[/CMD]

You could skip ports.txz and source.txz also.
Please let me know how it goes,

Code:
tar -xpvJf base.txz -C /mnt
Solve my problem :)
Also on article:
Code:
zfs umount -a
didnt work.
Code:
umount -f /mnt
made the trick :)
Finally you forgot the first step.
Code:
gpart destroy -F ada0
You must first to destroy Filesystem, slices etc before start build on zfs.
But article is really good and a very big thanks. Is the first time in my life that I made it :)

You probably forgot to run the commands in sh shell

I thought this was solved because I had it in my previous guide. I should mention it again maybe, sometimes it refuses to unmount without force ;)

Only if you are installing over an existing installation.
Anyway, thanks and welcome to the 9 ZFS club :p

Syntax error: "do" unexpected
Witch is the simplest way to extract the sources?

You need to be in sh shell !!!

Anyway I am glad it worked for you.
