New Revision: 212805
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/212805

Log:
  Before VirtualBox is fixed, mark with #ifdef what has to be done to make
  it possible to boot from ZFS RAIDZ for example from within VirtualBox.
  The problem with VirtualBox is that its BIOS reports only one disk present.
  If we choose to ignore this report, we can find all the disks available.
  We can't have this work-around to be turned on by default, because some broken
  BIOSes report true when it comes to number of disks, but present the same disk
  multiple times.
