Description Jonathan Anderson freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2016-07-04 13:14:51 UTC 
I am performing a fresh ZFS+GELI install on -CURRENT. After the datasets are created, I see the following error, which blocks installation progress:

mkdir: /mnt/boot: No such file or directory

This doesn't seem to make a lot of sense, since the *real* error is that /mnt/boot already exists as a symlink to bootpool/boot. Indeed, which I try to run mkdir /mnt/boot manually at the command line, I get a "File exists" error.r

I think the problem might be that the bootpool hasn't actually been mounted yet, so there is no 'bootpool/boot' directory. Is there are step missing in the installer?

bsdinstall(8) debug log

Hi,

I have the same issue.

The debug log of bsdinstall(8) is attached. It is from an Hyper-V VM. The issue also occurs on real hardware though.
