Basically, Solaris can only boot from simple structures such as mirrors and collections of mirrors. The code enforces this by stopping you from setting the bootfs property if the pool configuration is too complex for the Solaris boot code. I will simply remove this limitation for FreeBSD since we can now boot from any pool configuration. In the meantime, you can still boot if you put your root filesystem files in the root of the pool. Not ideal I know but I'll try to fix it properly soon. > http://www.fletchermoorland.co.ukReceived on Wed May 27 2009 - 16:41:34 UTC
