I have now proven that the recent post June 8th version of /usr/src/sys/boot/i386/loader/Makefile causes catastrophic data loss. Why on earth would this change not be immediately rolled back out of the STABLE branch? For those on the bleeding edge with CURRENT they expect to lose their entire drives, but not STABLE users. We need to remove -DLOADER_ZFS_SUPPORT from /usr/src/sys/boot/i386/ loader/Makefile immediately. Dan
