Hello.
Two separate machines fail when starting loader(8) after upgrading
from 8.0-RC1 to -RC2. Both have been installed by following http://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS/GPTZFSBoot
- one is a VMware machine with just one disk, the other a Sun Fire
X2200 server with 2 disks in a ZFS mirror.
They both booted fine with -RC1, but with -RC2 the last messages are:
Can't work out which disk we are booting from.
Guessed BIOS device 0xffffffff not found by probes, defaulting to
disk0:
ficl-s not found
Assertion failed: (FALSE), function ficlCompileSoftCore, file
softcore.c, line 428.
Reverting to the -RC1 /boot/loader fixes.
