That should work fine as long as /var was arranged to be mounted first. The other way around may and probably is trouble right now, where a zpool Not-legacy needs to be mounted so that a ZFS legacy filesystem or, in fact, any other filesystem type gets mounted under it. I believe that Solaris did and probably still does have this problem too. Legacy ZFS mounts should be perfectly workable even from single user when /usr isn't available yet for most simple use cases. -- Brad Spencer - b...@anduin.eldar.org - KC8VKS - http://anduin.eldar.org
