Hi,

This is still happening with 9.2-RELEASE on a HP DL 380 G5:

gptzfsboot: error 1 lba 32
gptzfsboot: error 1 lba 1
gptzfsboot: No ZFS pools located, can't boot

Andriy suggested the latest sys/boot/i386/common/edd.h at 243024 from head,
but unfortunately it makes no difference.

The printf hack above still works fine though.
