Here is what i did. installkernel, reboot, if the kernel boots fine (zfs will obviously not work and show messages like "internal error: out of memory"), boot kernel.old, installworld, reboot. Everything should be fine. I think this should be added to UPDATING with better wording of course ;-). This is going to bite all users who have /, /usr, $SRCDIR or $OBJDIR on zfs i think. AFAIK this will be needed for -CURRENT and for the 7.2 -> 7.3 update. Cheers, Florian
