All, I've successfully upgraded the disks in my ZFS backup server, and can import/mount the pool properly. However, I designed this box originally so that it mounts / from zfs:storage after booting from a USB stick. After the upgrade of the disks, I'm stuck at a mountroot prompt when I attempt to boot the system with the original USB /boot key. Can someone inform me how to find the / filesystem at the mountroot prompt? If not, is there *any* way to boot the system normally from another medium, and then 'reload' the system with the ZFS / after its been mounted so that the system functions as designed (ie. cron works etc)? Steve
