For a "plain" install, /boot is nothing more than a directory created in the root filesystem that will get created during installation. This is the same for UFS and ZFS. I haven't checked during a build but I don't think anything gets installed into /boot before installkernel so you shouldn't expect it to exist before installkernel. As mentioned you can create a separate pool for /boot so you can load the kernel from a non-encrypted filesystem that can then mount the remaining encrypted filesystems. Another alternative setup is using boot environments that would create filesystems as /sys/ROOT/ that are then mounted as the root filesystem. Like a plain system the /boot folder would still be created at the installkernel stage. -- FreeBSD - the place to B...Storing Data Shane Ambler ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
Re: help install new kernel on root-on-ZFS on 11-STABLE
The bug report pointed to says the same thing but the new issue is it is not documented in the Handbook and/or not mounted by default (for someone who is brand new to ZFS it is very counter intutive to see a symlink pointing off into space) On Sun, Oct 16, 2016 at 6:21 PM, Brandon J.

How do I do it on root-on-ZFS? Last I checked, the automated installer created a separate pool called "bootpool," with a symlink from /boot to /bootpool. Check to see "bootpool" exists; if so, it's not mounted, which is another problem that needs addressing. If it doesn't exist, then something has changed and I have no idea what to do. -- :: Brandon J.

help install new kernel on root-on-ZFS on 11-STABLE
I just installed 11-STABLE on a brand new system and can't find a valid /boot in which to do "make installkernel" to. I am used to how to do make world on UFS. How do I do it on root-on-ZFS? -- Aryeh M.
