Hi, Many thanks for testing and your report.

That *could* be #757987 (fails to create swap on a regular partition) - I imagine the bug could apply to swap in ZFS volumes too. > Then I tried to set the swap out of the pool. Failed again (then, everytime I > tried to set a swap part, this step always failed, I thought about leaving a > void partition of 1G and set it after). That one is definitely #757987.

I think that's the fault of the 'auto' partitioning added into partman-zfs, which I don't like, and I'm considering reverting it. > This failed. Not sure what you mean, but I'll try it myself and see. > Then I set a / with ext2 or UFS, failed. Odd.

Good. > Following the installer, Grub failed to setup. OK :( I would need to see installer syslog, hopefully if there is a problem I'll be able to reproduce it myself. > I tried to use some rescue CD to boot and setup grub after. Failed. No live/rescue CD exists yet that understands how to configure GRUB for GNU/kFreeBSD. Booting d-i and dropping to a shell is the best thing for this (and can fix almost anything this way) but it's hard unless you have some experience. Regards, -- Steven Chamberlain steven@pyro.eu.org
