When I initially set up proxmox, I installed to a zfs mirror, but as I had the disks attached to a storage controller in HBA mode, my motherboard would not boot from the drives. At theat time, I setup a SD card to boot from (boot partition only), and all worked well - booted from SD, then loaded OS from zfs mirror.

I have now moved the zfs mirror to the onboard sata controller, so that I do not have to rely on th SD card any longer. Initially the systen wouldn't boot, as I had included the line:
Code:
UUID=e5a3721a-98d3-4887-a98d-504e111d9573 /boot ext4 defaults 0 0
in my /etc/fstab

I removed this line, and Proxmox boots fine, and everything works as expected, until I want to make a change to grub.... update-grub gives:

Code:
/usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig: 270: cannot create /boot/grub/grub.cfg.new: Directory nonexistent

and upon checking, nothing is mounted as /boot

Can anyone advise how to mount the boot partition of the zfs mirror please?
