Mine looks way different: yours shows the pool info, mine shows 'BTX
halted' message: http://zhegan.in/files/cannot-read-MOS.jpg . I'm
running the latest BIOS for this motherboard (Gigabyte Z77P-D3, updated
yesterday, stilll it's only 2012h year). If it's still the BIOS-related
bug, what wokraround can I use - reslice the disk and create the root
pool inside first Tb, right ?

Thanks.
Eugene.
