--As of May 30, 2011 6:47:32 PM +0300, George Kontostanos is alleged to
have said:
The bootcode should be installed to the drive that you are booting from.
I see that you have:
ada1:
1 freebsd-boot
2 freebsd-swap 8G
3 freebsd-zfs 4G (zil)
4 freebsd-zfs 17G (cache)
ada0: Managed by ZFS, ~250G Main filesystem.
I don't think that ada1 holds any OS files therefore you will need to boot
from ada0
gpart create -s gpt ada0
gpart add -b 34 -s 64k -t freebsd-boot ada0
gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 ada0
--As for the rest, it is mine.
I said that was my preferred partitioning. I had tried others. ;) I just
double-checked putting the bootcode on ada0. It doesn't help.
(Note that if it did that'd be an interesting regression from 8.2. My home
server is running with *only* the bootcode on one drive, and the OS loaded
from a ZFS RAIDZ array.)
