 Just another "Me too"
 
 If I use /boot/zfsboot form recent STABLE (from snapshot CD
 or built myself) to boot up this
 
 monstro# gpart show ad6
 =>        63  625142385  ad6  MBR  (298G)
            63  104872257    1  ntfs  [active]  (50G)
     104872320  520270128    2  freebsd  (248G)
 
 monstro# gpart show ad6s2
 =>         0  520270128  ad6s2  BSD  (248G)
             0  516075824      1  freebsd-zfs  (246G)
     516075824    4194304      2  freebsd-swap  (2.0G)
 
 I install /boot/zfsboot as
 
 dd if=/boot/zfsboot of=/dev/ad6s2 count=1
 dd if=/boot/zfsboot of=/dev/ad6s2a skip=1 seek=1024
 
 when I reboot, system stuck in "-" or "\" or "/" or finaly "|" prompt.
 
 when I install /boot/zfsboot from recent 9-CURRENT snapshot CD all
 boots-up perfectly.
 More over, fresh built /boot/zfsboot from v28 pachset either from 8-S or
 9-C patches stuck as I describe above.
 
 I do not use GPT because of windows on the same machine.
