Really impressed with the recent changes to JET...ISO's, ZFS etc. Many thanks. Please could you answer two quick questions?
1) ZFS - Is there a way to put /var on a seperate dataset at initial install? Tried via ZFS module but won't mount afterwards.
2) x86 installs - Although template is for static IP, it seems to get ignored and contines with DHCP from the initial PXE/DHCP boot onwards. How can I get it to initial boot via PXE/DHCP but then revert to Static IP for 2nd reboot? Am I missing something in the template?
Regards
Rick

2: It should go to static after the 2nd reboot. I'm assuming you are doing a one-off PXE boot from the BIOS, and booting from disk automatically after that. It should only use DHCP on the first boot. (At least that's what I see when I build x86 boxes.)

I'm just doing a first PXEboot from the BIOS (F12) but it just hangs on to it. Could be to do with the fact that it's a Proliant DL365 with HP driver updated miniroot image. Will investigate further.

I tried the cmd base_config_profile_zfs_var="4096", but the dataset is not sized up to 4GB.
Do you found a solution or isn't there any possibility to limit the size of /var or a dataset of zfs?
The manual installation describes also a option without sizing -> "Put /var on a separate dataset"
