Surely.

OK show loaddev

OK show currdev

OK show vfs.zfs.boot.primary_pool

OK lsdev -v

This didn't produce the expected result.  Slipped it into the 9.2-RC1
build, rebuilt, installed it, but nothing changed.

In order to get it to load, we removed zfsloader, storing the 8.4
version as zfsloader-8.4 and installing the 9.2-RC1 zfsloader as
zfsloader-9.2.

Then, when the gptzfsboot can't find /boot/zfsloader, I entered
zfsloader-9.2 at the prompt.  It does the same thing, with the same
message:

ZFS: can't find pool by guid

Even though I changed the source as you suggested:


Index: zfs.c
===================================================================
--- zfs.c	(revision 253967)
+++ zfs.c	(working copy)
@@ -645,7 +645,7 @@
 	} else
 		spa = spa_find_by_guid(dev->pool_guid);
 	if (spa == NULL) {
-		printf("ZFS: can't find pool by guid\n");
+		printf("ZFS: can't find pool by guid: %llX\n", dev->pool_guid);
 		return (buf);
 	}
 	if (dev->root_guid == 0 && zfs_get_root(spa, &dev->root_guid)) {


So I can't figure out why the message didn't change.  Doing a full
buildworld buildkernel right now in case the problem is just that I
don't know how to selectively build this.

Thanks!
