Hello,

I want to boot off a ZFS pool (version 13) on an USB stick for testing
purposes. But I'm stuck with the bsdlabel bootstrap code size...
I'm using a 2 hours old CURRENT.

# kldload usb2_storage_mass
# kldload zfs
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/da0 bs=512 count=32
# fdisk -BI da0
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/da0s1 bs=512 count=32
# bsdlabel -wB -b /boot/zfsboot da0s1
bsdlabel: boot code /boot/zfsboot is wrong size

Is what I'm trying to do with bsdlabel wrong ?
I previously tried with the default bootstrap code but I had an
(expected) "boot: Not ufs" error at boot.

PS : I'm not subscribed to this list.

Cheers,
Olivier
