That's what I concluded, but glad to have the confirmation. Just wish there was a way to rename an unmounted pool so I could make it rpool again. At the moment it's not bootable, though I think I understand how to fix that. Since it's just a test image I doesn't matter if I fail or trash it so I plan to try. Ironically, the config file I was after was of no use. But I learned quite a bit about beadm & zfs, so it was well worth while. At least if I can remember it all when I need it next. I'd rolled up facilities to provide the function of beadm on my 3/60 & 1+, but not as elegant. On the 3/60 I used the diag switch to select the active be and had miniroot installed in that. Full system be was lots more work to setup. Have Fun!
