Hi. So, I'm still struggling with my problem when I cannot boot from a big zfs 2T pool (I have written some messages about a year ago, the whole story is too long and irrelevant to retell it, I'll only notice that I took the path where I'm about to boot from a separate zfs pool closer to the beginning of the disk).
I've created such a smaller pool, called it zboot. I've read pjd@ letter explaining that when FreeBSD sees several bootable pools, it chooses the first one - that's fine with me, since the new pool partition's number is smaller than the big one. So, I created zboot, set the mountpoint to legacy, wrote the content to it's /boot directory (and yes, I did call the 'make installkernel DESTDIR=/zboot') and rebooted. Strage thing happened next - I got Can't find /boot/zfsloader FreeBSD/x86 boot Default: zboot:/boot/kernel/kernel boot: | Can't find /boot/kernel/kernel I booted back from USB stick (that I'm using to boot my machine) and rechecked these files - everything mentioned here is in it's place. Does someone have the idea what I'm doing wrong ? May be this has something to do with the fact that zboot does contain only the /boot directory, and not the full rootfs ? Thanks.
