Hi, Many thanks for testing and your report.

I think that's the fault of the 'auto' partitioning added into partman-zfs, which I don't like, and I'm considering reverting it. > This failed. Not sure what you mean, but I'll try it myself and see. > Then I set a / with ext2 or UFS, failed. Odd.

Good. > Following the installer, Grub failed to setup. OK :( I would need to see installer syslog, hopefully if there is a problem I'll be able to reproduce it myself. > I tried to use some rescue CD to boot and setup grub after. Failed. No live/rescue CD exists yet that understands how to configure GRUB for GNU/kFreeBSD. Booting d-i and dropping to a shell is the best thing for this (and can fix almost anything this way) but it's hard unless you have some experience. Regards, -- Steven Chamberlain ste...@pyro.eu.org
