Yes, there is an item in the wiki for zfsboot with a big finger pointing at Doug Rabson (cc'd) but I don't know the status of the task. I was using the /boot on small ufs partition method to boot my raidz but upgraded my machine and added a 1TB disk to the mix. I'll be booting from a usb pen with root on zfs. As soon as zfsboot works I'll ditch the usb pen. Doug, can you provide some status update on zfsboot? Do you need help on something? -- Joao BarrosReceived on Mon Nov 10 2008 - 18:57:13 UTC
