[zfs-discuss] boot device != zfs root pool device : Is it possible?
I''d like to experiment with storing the boot archive on a compact flash that emulates an IDE hard disk, but then have the root pool on a 4-disk raidz set. (I''m using OpenSolaris) Anyone have suggestions on how to go about this? Will I need to set rootdev in /etc/system to tell the kernel the root device is different from the boot dev? Then what about "update-archive" and friends? They''ll need to know where to put the archive, or get the boot device mounted on /boot or whatever. Ideas? Pointers?
