Hi DukeNuke2,

As you had mentioned in couple of posts earlier the error was due to EFI label .. the installation process was trying to set the property for bootfs .. i imported the zfs rpool and then try to set it but somehow the system was taking the disk as EFI labelled and you know very well that ZFS root only works on SMI label disk.

Thanks
