The release notes for FreeBSD 7.3 said that it could boot to zfs. I did not see any options for doing that via the normal install.

I saw a suggestion that zfs.cache needed to be copied. I did that during the setup, but I tried doing it again from Fixit. Same result.
You don't need this step for 7.3.
The other suggestion I saw was to do section 2 step 7 "again." That shouldn't be necessary for 7.3, but I tried it anyway. Still seeing "can't load 'kernel'." Any suggestions for getting FreeBSD 7.3 to boot to ZFS?
Can you try the following at the loader prompt, where you see the FreeBSD boot options?
load zfs load opensolaris # should not be necessary, but just to be safe boot Regards, -- Glen Barber _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
