I recently went looking for the same documentation. The zfsboot(8) = manpage turned out to be what I wanted. It's not in 10.1-RELEASE, but = you can find it in 10.1-STABLE: = https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=3Dzfsboot&apropos=3D0&sektion=3D= 0&manpath=3DFreeBSD+10.1-stable&arch=3Ddefault&format=3Dhtml There's instructions on how to install zfsboot(8) on whole disks (what I = wanted) or MBR slices (what you want). Hope that helps :) -- Bradley T. Hughes bradleythughes@fastmail.fm
