Should I use boot0 instead of pmbr? However, this (http://freebsd.1045724.n5.nabble.com/Booting-from-ZFS-raidz-td4032461.html) may be related to the problem: > You can boot from any of the drives and as long as the BIOS can see > enough drives you should be able to boot. In my case, the BIOS certainly can not see all members of the raid-z pool. The question is: why does it want to boot from raid-z at all, and how could it be persuaded to use the mirrored pool instead? _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
