So far we've tried: - 'gpart bootcode -b' - load geom_part_gpt.ko - using zpool.cache from the 9.0-RELEASE CD
And none of that seems to have had any effect. Additional info: from the CD environment, 'zpool import' reports an old 'tank' pool on devices mfid[2-5]. (The 'zroot' pool uses mfid[0-5]p3.) Any further ideas, please? Thanks for all the suggestions so far.
