I'm not familiar with FreeBSD, so I'm not sure if the installation process is synonymous with our installer. The "checksum verification failed" message could point to a problem with your disk. ZFS uses checksums to ensure data integrity. We've had some instances where ZFS detected disk problems that other OS's have missed. Here is the code that does the checksum, if you're interested in taking a look: http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/grub/grub-0.97/stage2/fsys_zfs.c If possible, could you try installing on a different disk, and see if you still see the same behavior? In answer to your side note, here is a pointer to the ZFS bugster bug: http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=6770808 To find bugster, click on bugs.opensolaris.org on the opensolaris.org page. Let me know how that works. -- Ginnie
