Greeting-

I will try to build as a module and see what happens.  I have run zfs
on root using the mfsbsd install images since 8.0 without any stability
problems.

I do not think we can yet run zfs on root with ARM, but I am not
certain as I am not really real up on how these boxes boot or if the
boot loader understands zfs.  I guess we would have to chainload
something that could load the kernel from zfs.

Gun Control: The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and
strangled with her own pantyhose, is somehow morally superior to a
woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound
