That's a me too.
I tried this under vmware with LOADER_ZFS_SUPPORT=yes on make.conf:
# gpart create -s gpt ad0
# gpart add -b 34 -s 128 -t freebsd-boot ad0
ad0p1 added
# gpart add -b 162 -s 15078327 -t freebsd-zfs ad0
ad0p2 added
# gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 ad0
# zpool create tank ad0p2
# zpool set bootfs = tank tank
lsdev on loader shows:
cd devices:
disk devices:
disk0: BIOS drive c:
disk0p1: FreeBSD boot
disk0p2: FreeBSD ZFS
pxe devices:
zfs devices:
Any hints?
