We use freebsd-update as a binary update mechanism and I can see those files already exist (8.0-RC1), so perhaps it isn't needed except to compile the appropriate boot loader files? gptboot and pmbr should be there always... The LOADER_ZFS_SUPPORT has to do with it requiring CDDL code and so isn't / wasn't built by default... I'm not fully aware of the details... I just know that when I setup my first amd64 box w/ zfs root it wasn't part of the normal CDs. So I built up a temporary install to bootstrap it and install the OS. robert. > Also, LOADER_ZFS_SUPPORT does not appear in the man page for make.conf. > > Once I have everything figured out, I'll write up a blog post with a set of instructions on what I've learnt.
