I replaced the CC to BTS with debian-bsd. 2011/12/11 Steven Chamberlain <[email protected]>: > which only has kfreebsd-image-8.2-1-amd64 8.2-15 (I guess because > kfreebsd-9 isn't in testing quite yet?). That might be, yes. Is kfreebsd-9 available in boot menu? > I had difficulty getting past the partitioner stage of the install.

So, I downgraded to zfsutils-udeb 8.2-4 inside of the > running installer ramdisk (from the console, using wget, ar and tar to > overwrite zpool/zfs and libs), and was then able to delete/recreate a > ZFS pool and root fs that worked and allowed me to finish installing. Current zfsutils only works with kfreebsd 9.0 or 8.3 snapshots. I added an isinstallable script in zfsutils-udeb to prevent it from being installed on 8.2, but apparently it's not working. I don't know why. Perhaps you can find out what's wrong? -- Robert Millan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
