Now I have some questions as the zfs raidz-1 on root will not boot from boot0cfg which I installed upon my original setup booting win7 and freebsd 10.0. Will Grub2 boot FreeBSD11 installed on zfs raidz-1? If so can someone give me the scoop on how to do that as I just can not afford to mess that up. It will need to boot Win7, freebsd-10.0 and freebsd-11.0 on zfs raidz-1 I can I move the raidz install to different SATA controllers? or will I need to get down and dirty and fixup the drives in the raidz ? As Always Thanks
