Hello,
I followed these[1] step up to the Finishing touches.
I'm using a 9.1 Release.
After the install I go into the shell and /mnt is empty.
The mount command shows that the zfs partitions are mounted.
When I reboot the system it can't find the bootloader.
What can I do to fix this?
Thanks,
Roland van Laar
[1] https://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS/GPTZFSBoot/9.0-RELEASE
Looking through the wiki notes I would do a couple of things in a
different way.
Since you're running 9.1-RELEASE you should take into account the need
for the /boot/zfs/zpool.cache file until 9.2-RELEASE exist or you
switch to the latest 9-STABLE.
Create your zpool using a command like this one:
zpool create -o cachefile=/tmp/zpool.cache -m /tmp/zroot zroot /dev/gpt/disk0
Copy the /tmp/zpool.cache file to /tmp/zroot/boot/zfs/zpool.cache, or
in your case to /mnt/boot/zfs/zpool.cache after extracting the base
and kernel stuff.
In the wiki section Finishing touches, perform step 4 before step 3.
The final command missing in step 3 should be zfs unmount -a once
more. Avoid step 5 at all cost!
Maybe this recipe is easier to follow, it sure works for 9.0-RELEASE
and 9.1-RELEASE, I only hope you're happy typing long commands, and
yes, command line editing is available in the shell:

Thank you for that link. This worked (better).
I'm getting into the 'mountroot>' shell during the boot. Oh well, I'm
getting better at this.
The ZFS guides on the wiki leave you with a empty root zfs filesystem
after the installation.
After I know a bit more about ZFS and why the FreeBSD wiki is wrong on
ZFS installation I hope
to edit them.
Thank you all for your answers,
Regards,
Roland van Laar
