Hi, I decided to wipe away the disk in my X61s & start afresh with a new install of FreeBSD-Current at the same time switching to root on ZFS (previously /boot was on UFS). I've been unsuccessful in being able get the system to boot, after trying various combinations of https://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS/ZFSBootPartition I switched back to using the install menu option & just switching from GPT to MBR (everything else as default). Once install completes & the system reboots, the system hangs at a prompt. I was pointed to a post regarding modifying partition ID's by Allan Jude as there seems to have been an issue with ThinkPads & FreeBSD in the past. This also didn't work & caused the system to reset. What should be my next step for trying to debug this issue? Sevan / Venture37
