It worked on all the systems I tried it on. So my first question: is this a ZFS system? Second, does it also have UFS? If yes to both, which one do you want it to boot off of? Warner

If yes to both, which one do you want it to boot off of?No zfs in use at all. It has been years since I experimented with ZFS and reverted back to UFS. # gpart show -l => 40 937703008 da0 GPT (447G) 40 1024 1 FBSDFSSDboot (512K) 1064 746586112 2 FBSDFSSDroot (356G) 746587176 31457280 3 FBSDFSSDswap (15G) 778044456 159383552 4 FBSDFSSDswap2 (76G) 937428008 275040 - free - (134M) . . . Doing: gpart bootcode -p /boot/gptboot -i 1 da0 and the trying a modern /boot/loader did not change anything: still "BTX halted" for a native boot. (No problem under Hyper-V.) ==Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com ( dsl-only.net went away in early 2018-Mar)
