I'm installing FreeNAS on a VM with a 128GB boot disk (Virtio / ZFS zvol) with PCI passthrough to a LSI SAS 9207-8i with 4 disks attached. The FreeNAS installation detects all 5 disks, so I install FreeNAS onto the 128GB /dev/vtbd0, however it refuses to boot from the virtio disk after the installation.
I destroyed the VM, recreated it without the PCI passthrough, and repeated the installation onto the lone virtio drive. This time FreeNAS boots up fine after installation. I shutdown the VM to enable PCI passthrough, and restarted the VM and the VM refuses to boot from the virtio drive again.
Any ideas what I may have done wrong?

bootdisk: virtio0
