Hi Drew,

I'm pretty sure you can't run a RAIDZ as your root pool. That's likely the
problem. Kind of sucks, I know :-(

You can use raidz1 as your root pool. I'm running it right now on my 9.0 system.

Drew: My first suggestion is to confirm that you added the proper
options in /boot/loader.conf. Mine looks like this:

vfs.root.mountfrom="zfs:zroot"
zfs_load="YES"

Thank you for your reply. This was my problem. I had the zfs_load="YES" in /etc/rc.conf, not /boot/loader.conf.

In addition, zfs_enable="YES" in your /etc/rc.conf to automount the
other zfs filesystems, such as /usr, /var, or whichever ones you
setup.

Did you set the proper mountpoints on your zfs filesystems before
rebooting? As in, `zfs set mountpoint=legacy zroot` and `zfs set
mountpoint=/usr zroot/usr` and so on, for each for your file systems.

Yes, although I've read that 'zfs set mountpoint=/ zroot' is acceptable as well. I set mine to "/" after trying to import pool with '-o altroot=/mnt' in LiveCD. When mountpoint was "legacy", altroot didn't work right. Opinions on "/" vs. "legacy"?

Thanks for your help.

Cheers,

Drew
