What do you mean by lose the whole system? A panic is not a bad thing, and
also does not imply that the machine will not reboot successfully. It certainly

the whole OS because of a kernel panic and an unbootable system.
Is this a known scenario with ZFS then? I can't recall hearing of this
happening.
I've seen plenty of UFS filesystems dieing with panic: freeing

It shouldn't do that.

Now that is interesting. But how do you do a receive before you reinstall?
Live cd??
Just boot off of the CD (or jumpstart server) to single user mode. Format your
new disk, create a zpool, zfs recv, installboot (or installgrub), reboot and
