I patched/hacked bsdinstall ( /usr/libexec/bsdinstall/zfsboot) to install my zfs raidz2 using 800GB partitions. And it even worked! Now I need to boot this monster as well as my current 10.0 version until I can build my desktop upon the raidz, then I will decommission the 10.0 version when the 11.0 version is up to snuff. I have boot0 install to ada0 which boots win7 and 10.0 freebsd. Can this also boot the raidz? It does not appear in the boot0 menu. If so I can not find how to do this, duck duck go doesn't show me the way. Do I need a different boot loader? If so which one and how to make it work.
