Setting up FreeBSD 9.0 with a ZFS root filesystem: Success!
So, I investigated last week's problem with ZFS and FreeBSD 9.0 and I discovered that the problem was very simple to fix. I needed to add:
# echo 'zfs_enable="YES"'>> /mnt/etc/rc.conf
to the procedure described last week (on January 15th) so that the zfs mountpoint options would be executed. So now, things are working fine... I am going to play with this configuration a bit to see if the fact that I haven't configured a swap space causes problem with a 2GB memory configuration when I try to compile world.
More later.
Late addition to this post: turns out that the author of the initial page at http://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS/GPTZFSBoot/9.0-RELEASE had also found the error and fixed it on the wiki, but I had not gone back to check. In the end, it's OK, this has allowed me to explore ZFS enough so that I now understand it better.
