SOLVED New ZFS boot

[noprobs]

I have just started testing FreeNAS-9.3-BETA-aaa86f0-x64 and a couple of observations

1) I am unable to load on a XenServer 6.2 host (it crashed in ISO boot) - I know this is not a recommended environment but it was where I used to do all my testing

2) I am really pleased that boot has moved to ZFS (I will now upgrade production to using a USB drive mirror) however is there a reason why it does not show in GUI like all other ZFS pools ? Eg Set up Periodic Snapshots/replication, reporting etc

Yes. It would confuse people, who have hitherto only seen "data pools" in this UI. The freenas-boot pool has its own, more simplified UI for managing it.
