next week, i have to do a system install on a 24tb array which has no
cdrom. i want to use raidz2. the new issues to me are
o install from usb stick
o installing on a new zfs
o boot from zfs
i have a couple of systems where i did a small bootable gmirror
partition on the first two drives, and then gave the rest of the drives,
and other whole drives, to zfs. i could do that this time too, i
guess. but i wondered if i could do an install which was pure zfs.
i have been collecting email on the subject for six months. so now i
have some clues and some confusion. is there a zfs capable loader?
i will be doing this a jet-lagged. is there a recipe?
