ZFS boot / root? All that is required is to update the physical device path in the zpool label on disk. The label is automatically updated when the pool gets imported. The following should work: - switch from P-ATA to S-ATA - boot from the live cd into single user mode, zpool import -f rpool (this updates the bootpath in the zpool's label) - reboot from the HDD -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
