Hi I installed proxmox with ZFS over 1 SATA disk with RAID0 alternative.

The installation finish ok ..but I can not make it to boot. It continuously goes to the page of the BIOS.

UEFI mode is disable.

Please I need some help!

Previously I run proxmox with etx4 in the samne server.

Now I'm trying proxmox with zfs. Legacy booting is on. I also, try this:

Code:
$ zpool import -a
cannot mount '/': directory is not empty
 
$ zfs set mountpoint=/mnt rpool/ROOT/pve-1
$ zfs mount rpool/ROOT/pve-1
 
$ mount -t proc /proc /mnt/proc
$ mount --rbind /dev /mnt/dev
$ mount --rbind /sys /mnt/sys
 
$ chroot /mnt /bin/bash
(chroot)$ source /etc/profile
(chroot)$ grub-install /dev/sda
(chroot)$ grub-install /dev/sdb
(chroot)$ update-grub2
(chroot)$ update-initramfs -u
Ctrl-D
 
$ umount /mnt/sys
$ umount /mnt/dev
$ umount /mnt/proc
$ zfs unmount rpool/ROOT/pve-1
Ctrl-D
Ctrl-D

But when I do the grub-install /dev/sda --efi-directory=/boot/efi this is the error:

/boot/efi doesn't look like an efi partition


Thanks for your help
