Booting from ZFS - fail.

[Stefan Lambrev]

Hi,

I have tested with a mirror from just 2x3TB HDDs but with no difference.
Though the layout of the partitions was the same (e.g. the smallest
partition I have tried is 2.7TB):

gpart show ada0 (This is valid for all four disks)
=>        34  5860533101  ada0  GPT  (2.7T)
          34           6        - free -  (3.0K)
          40         512     1  freebsd-boot  (256K)
         552  5860532576     2  freebsd-zfs  [bootme]  (2.7T)
  5860533128           7        - free -  (3.5K)
