I then used that media to attempt an installation onto a spare sparc64 machine that I have. Using UFS as the filesystem, and more or less just following the prompts, the system got installed OK, and boots off of ZFS OK. I then reinstalled onto a system that I manually configured for ZFS. This installation fails to boot from the hard disk, dying like this: ---- snip, snip ---- ok reset Res LOM event: +487d+12h37m31s host reset etting ... ?

Has anyone else tried booting a ZFS only sparc64 installation recently? -Kurt
