I just set this up on an Athlon64 machine I have w/ 4 WD EARS 2TB disks. I followed the instructions here: http://www.leidinger.net/blog/2011/05/03/another-root-on-zfs-howto-optimized-for-4k-sector-drives/, but just building a single pool so three partitions per disk (boot, swap and zfs). I'm using the mfsBSD image to do the boot code. When I reboot to actually come up from ZFS, the loader spins for half a second and then the machine reboots. I've seen a number of bug reports on gptzfsboot and 4k sector pools, but I never saw one fail so early. What data would the ZFS people need to help fix this?
