I migrated my root from UFS to zfs file system, all was working great. Then I did mirror my disk, was unable to boot from second disk in my mirror so I did issue command:
installboot -F zfs /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/zfs/bootblk /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s0 and now I cannot boot from either disk.

I dont know, but to be honest I am quite disapointed with zfs boot disk feature... I know its learing curve, but its quite strange learning curve, first I was getting problems with cpio, so I had to use my solaris 9 cpio binary. Then I was getting strange behavior when I did try boot -L, then I was unable to boot from my second mirror that I've added I did decide to do installboot and then it did destroy both mirrors making my system unbootable... :( _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
