Hello list, I've been having a recurring problem with my FreeBSD 8.2 stable system: after going through the whole buildworld/buildkernel/installkernel/reboot/mergemaster/installworld/mergemaster process, the system no longer boots successfully: the loader reports, "Can't work out which disk we are booting from". It looks to my eyes like the "zfsloader" binary is not getting built correctly: I've been carrying around an older zfsloader in /boot, so that if at the boot prompt I type: /boot/zfsloader.working Everything works out fine. The complete output of the boot process is here: https://twitter.com/#!/larsks/status/148191554278928384/photo/1 Additional details: - This is FreeBSD 8.2 STABLE on amd64 - The kernel (and world) are current as of this afternoon - This has only ZFS filesystems This has been a very frustrating problem, and I'm not sure how to start debugging things. I'd appreciate your help. Thanks, -- Lars
