I've successfully made booting one virtual machine, I tried again and it failed again. There's one thing I'm not sure about is that some people create a dataset root but that actually mounts at / (and not /root) and some just create others mount points directly on the zpool
I've tested the second one so I did the following : zpool create -o altroot=/mnt tank /dev/gpt/disk0 zfs create tank/usr ... And then I've done all the other and I'm still unable to boot, this is the exact list (and order) I've used : gpart create -s GPT ada0 gpart add -t freebsd-boot -s 64k -l boot0 ada0 gpart add -t freebsd-swap -s 4G -l swap0 ada0 gpart add -t freebsd-zfs -l disk0 ada0 gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr ada0 gpart bootcode -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 ada0 zpool create -o altroot=/mnt tank /dev/gpt/zfs0 zpool set bootfs=tank tank zfs set checksum=fletcher4 tank zfs create -o setuid=off tank/home zfs create -o setuid=off tank/tmp # /usr zfs create tank/usr zfs create tank/usr/local zfs create -o setuid=off -o compression=lzjb tank/usr/src zfs create -o setuid=off -o compression=lzjb tank/usr/ports # /var zfs create tank/var zfs create -o setuid=off -o compression=lzjb -o exec=off tank/var/crash zfs create -o setuid=off -o compression=lzjb -o exec=off tank/var/log zfs create -o setuid=off -o exec=off tank/var/run zfs create -o setuid=off tank/var/tmp chmod 1777 /mnt/tmp /mnt/var/tmp ### TYPE EXIT TO INSTALL THE SETS ### THEN CHOOSE LIVECD echo "/dev/label/swap0 none swap sw 0 0" >> /mnt/etc/fstab echo "zfs_enable=YES" >> /mnt/etc/rc.conf echo "zfs_load=YES" >> /mnt/boot/loader.conf echo "vfs.root.mountfrom=zfs:tank" >> /mnt/boot/loader.conf # zpool.cache (unable to boot without) zpool export tank zpool import -o cachefile=/tmp/zpool.cache -o altroot=/mnt tank cp /tmp/zpool.cache /mnt/boot/zfs zpool export tank # Finished shutdown -r now Regards, -- Demelier David _______________________________________________ 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"
