Patches and pull requests are very welcome! Many thanks to Warren Block for the initial review and many fixes. One fix for the gptzfsboot man page would be to mention that gptzfsboot is installed into a GPT partition of type freebsd-boot, and that the -i 1 refers to the GPT index for this partition. We are missing that from the gptboot.8 page also. gptzfsboot is installed in a freebsd-boot partition, usually the first partition on the disk. A ``protective MBR'' (see gpart(8)) is typically used in combination with gptzfsboot. To install gptzfsboot on the ada0 drive: gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 ada0 ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

One fix for the gptzfsboot man page would be to mention that gptzfsboot is installed into a GPT partition of type freebsd-boot, and that the -i 1 refers to the GPT index for this partition. -- DISCLAIMER: No electrons were maimed while sending this message.
