If you would like speed when installing the system I recommend mfsBSD - http://mfsbsd.vx.sk/. As pointed out in the web page there is a script (zfsinstall) that does all the work for you. It does all the steps described in the wiki - http://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS/GPTZFSBoot/Mirror. If you want to gain knowledge about the process of installing FreeBSD with root on ZFS then go with the wiki article. Using mfsBSD I install a 8.2-STABLE custom system in under 5 seconds. That's pretty neat :). OK, I tried mfsbsd. I had the iso loaded at ata1 master and freebsd-8.2-dvd as ata1 slave. I booted my VM; mfsbsd came up fine. I mounted my fbsd dvd drive on /cdrom and tried to run the zfsinstall script. Alas, it refuses.. It can't find the (needed!) 8.2-RELEASE.???tgz file It does not exist. There is only a directory 8.2-RELEASE (on DVD as well as on CDROM ). Question: is this a bug in zfsinstall script?

Hello Community, You don't need any other CD/DVD to install from. The 8.2-RELEASE.tar.gz file is on the mfsBSD iso. You have to mount it to /cdrom and you can use zfsinstall script that comes with mfsBSD to do a root on ZFS install of FreeBSD. I outline the steps: 0. Download http://mfsbsd.vx.sk/iso/mfsbsd-se-8.2-amd64.iso. 1. Boot mfsBSD. No other disk needed to install FreeBSD on root. 2. # mount /dev/acd0 /cdrom (change acd0 with your local CD/DVD drive). 3. # *zfsinstall -d ad0 -t /cdrom/8.2-RELEASE-amd64.tar.xz* -s 4G - change the drive and swap partition size according to your needs. You might wanna check the options of zfsinstall script, it has quite some nice ones, see -h flag of the command.
