I can confirm there is still a problem with 10RC3.
Background:
The X220 has a quirk/feature/bug in that it refuses to boot from a GPT
partitioned disk if you select "legacy boot" in the BIOS. This
apparently is a problem for GNU/Linux users as well. So, we're stuck
with MBR partition schemes until UEFI booting is supported.
Here is the bsdinstall_log from an attempt to install MBR/ZFS/GELI:
http://ftfl.ca/misc/bsdinstall_log.
Like Max, I'm told there is no OS installed after rebooting.
After bsdinstall finishes if I try to manually add the boot code with
# gpart bootcode -b /boot/mbr ada0
# gpart set -a active -i 1 ada0
# dd if=/boot/zfsboot of=/dev/ada1s1 count=1
# dd if=/boot/zfsboot of=/dev/ada1s1a skip=1 seek=1024
the two dd commands return operation not permitted errors even
when setting kern.geom.debugflags=0x10. Now after I reboot I see an
error about not having ufs filesystems.
If there is anything else I can test, just let me know.
Joseph
