For the record, this will be for a reasonably large ZFS file server, and so having things like the home directories live on the larger ZFS volume (and not the mirrored SSDs) is something I'll probably be doing. However, it's more about the partitioning and device arrangement once the machine has booted, and that's not quite what I'm having difficulties understanding. I will, of course, be trying these things out myself on the weekend. But I'm also hoping for some experiences from those who have tried, or who know the innards of freebsd-boot enough to know without trying, such a set up. Thanks, and sorry for being a downer, JB
