Boot in terms of root FS or in terms of boot loader ? The boot loader would be set in your BIOS (which physical drive you read for that). /<root> comes from the zpool/zfs dataset once the boot loader loads enough code to find and mount the filesystem. That comes from all the drives in the zpool. -- Paul Kraus Deputy Technical Director, LoneStarCon 3 Sound Coordinator, Schenectady Light Opera Company _______________________________________________ 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"
