Accepted!

that was the worst outage that hit me since a decade or more.
It was really STABLE for longtime ;-) But In that stage of boot i was a
bit helpless.

Tried half a day to recover. Found some issues with "fixit" and mounting
zfs on root in /mnt

could not find menusets.4th on any place in the system. At the end I
simply copied the file from 
http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/sys/boot/forth/menusets.4th?revision=242667&view=co&pathrev=242667
on a usb-drive and copied to /mnt/boot
Hope to help others.

Now i have to figure out, why

|Fixit# zpool import -R /mnt -f poolname|
|Fixit# mount -t zfs poolname /mnt|

did not worked as expected, and the 9.2-RC1 image was not installable...

good night,
Beat
