Hi, very happy to see that there are other grub fans in FreeBSD-land! I was planning to place my grub on a separate UFS partition so that I can boot other things (like loopbacked iso's) if I should want to. The grub UFS partition only has grub files in it (what mounts under /boot/grub) and no kernel files. >> specify the zfs module if your 'grub-install' target is a ZFS dataset I forgot to mention my dedicated grub partition, so I hope it clarifies that my grub-install target is not a ZFS dataset. However, "kfreebsd /@/boot/kernel/kernel" is on a ZFS dataset. Other things I forgot to mention: I booted an ubuntu cd and installed grub 1.98 on the UFS grub partition. When I drop into the grub command line and "grub> zfslist (hd0) or (hd0,1)" I get message "no labels found". "insmod zfs" is loaded by default at grub boot-up. Host info: 10-Current, amd64, ZFS ver: features async_destroy, empty_bpobj, lz4_compress >> You don't need libzfs to use grub2 on ZFS. Please clarify: Do you mean that I don't need to invoke "--enable-libzfs"? If so, why do I get the error above (no labels found)? Thank you for the input & Regards. -- View this message in context: http://freebsd.1045724.n5.nabble.com/grub2-with-libzfs-tp5799405p5799443.html Sent from the freebsd-ports mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
