Good pointer.....

Added this patch to my tree, recompiled buildworld, and installed.
And I'm up and running a Root on ZFS vm....

So that works too.

Now If only i figured out why my linux install is running horibily
slow..... I sort of have the feeling that CD/iso access is the crulpit.
Every time new things are being loaded it is like molasses.

Hopefully the vm without the CD does perform.
