The new bsdinstall has a different layout so the previous guides don't
work. I have prepared one that works for recent 9-Current at :
"http://www.aisecure.net/?p=132";

Thanks, that's about what I expected the install procedure to be at this
point. Nice to have the reminder about the zpool.cache. (Do I have to
use the Live CD mode? Can I use shell mode instead?)
--As for the rest, it is mine.
Ok, I've tried shell mode and live CD mode. I've re-partitioned my
disks several different ways.
Nothing gets me a system that will actually boot. Or even recognize
that there is an OS loaded anywhere. Help?
I did it like this:
http://www.leidinger.net/blog/2011/05/03/another-root-on-zfs-howto-optimized-for-4k-sector-drives/
(My preferred partitioning:
ada1:
1 freebsd-boot
2 freebsd-swap 8G
3 freebsd-zfs 4G (zil)
4 freebsd-zfs 17G (cache)
ada0: Managed by ZFS, ~250G Main filesystem.
You show the boot partition on ada1, but you do not tell if ada0 has a
boot partition too or not. Did you try to have the boot partition on
the same disk as the pool?
I hope ada1 is a SSD. If not, it does not make much sense to have a
cache there (a cache needs to have lower latency than the main pool, I
do not expect that just another spindle gives a significant perf
improvement).
Bye,
Alexander.
