Hello. I have an existing pool I would like to boot proxmox from. I don't want to have to backup all the data and then recreate the pool from scratch. So I'm trying to setup proxmox on it. Here is what I have done so far.

I installed proxmox to a spare drive I have laying around.
I ZFS send the install to the existing pool.
then I changed /etc/default/grub to point to the proxmox install on the existing pool
update-grub
reboot
this works good!


now that part I'm stuck on. Trying to boot grub from the pool not the extra drive.
I did grub install to one of the drives I have in the Zpool
however when I boot it says I need to load the kernel first.
so it did update-initramfs
now it just shows grub then a black screen then back to grub.

how do I setup grub to boot correctly? thanks!
