if you want to install the loader make sure you do a 'cd /usr/src/sys/boot/; make install' also never export the zpool before you reboot as this will clear it from the zpool.cache file and it wont boot proply _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
