First of all, thank pjd@, mm@ and others who made zfs go ahead in FreeBSD! You are absolutely monsters!

Now one question, what I do wrong, that I can't use /boot/zfsboot to boot MBR+zfs-only FreeBSD? More info. If I use /boot/zfsboot form recent STABLE (from snapshot CD or built myself) to boot up this

monstro# gpart show ad6
=>       63  625142385  ad6  MBR  (298G)
         63  104872257    1  ntfs  [active]  (50G)
  104872320  520270128    2  freebsd  (248G)

monstro# gpart show ad6s2
=>        0  520270128  ad6s2  BSD  (248G)
          0  516075824      1  freebsd-zfs  (246G)
  516075824    4194304      2  freebsd-swap  (2.0G)

I install /boot/zfsboot as

dd if=/boot/zfsboot of=/dev/ad6s2 count=1
dd if=/boot/zfsboot of=/dev/ad6s2a skip=1 seek=1024

when I reboot, system stuck in "-" or "\" or "/" or finaly "|" prompt.

when I install /boot/zfsboot from recent 9-CURRENT snapshot CD all boots-up perfectly. More over, fresh built /boot/zfsboot from v28 pachset either from 8-S or 9-C patches stuck as I describe above.

What I miss? Can somebody send me known to work copy of /boot/zfsboot from v28 patchset?

Thanks!
