For me, GNUbie, it was a matter of laying out UFS filesystems. The system comes up just fine with this and has run rock-solid for 3 weeks or so now. I am currently scripting a configuration for creating a RAID-1 boot/swap device and RAID-1+0 everything else, and expect to complete it some time next week.
I will return to the pursuit of getting ZFS to work for root at a later time. ZFS is cool, but 8.0-RELEASEp3 doesn't appear to like it very well. Or it's me being a newbie once again to the FreeBSD/ZFS platform. :) Scott -----Original Message----- From: GNUbie [mailto:gnu...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, July 01, 2010 10:00 AM To: freebsd-stable@freebsd.org Cc: ssan...@gmail.com Subject: Re: Unable to boot FreeBSD 8.0-p3 Hello Scott, On Fri, Jul 2, 2010 at 12:52 AM, Scott Sanbeg <ssan...@gmail.com> wrote: > I had the same thing happening while running in VirtualBox.

Is your problem solved already?
