Hello.
I made a small mistake and I need to re-write the gptzfsboot file for
10-current zfs 5000 to my freebsd-boot gpt partition.

I can't use mfsbsd's gptzfsboot because that is 9.1 and v28 zfs.

Where can i download this file (without the complete 10.iso)?

Regards.

P.S It would be useful if ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/tools would host some
of these boot utilities in binary form...

You can try here:

https://pub.allbsd.org/FreeBSD-snapshots/

and take the file from one of those snapshots.

Both this suggestion and the images at that site come with no warranty,
obviously.

FYI, the whole directory tree of a snapshot can be found at the
following, for example:

https://pub.allbsd.org/FreeBSD-snapshots/amd64-amd64/10.0-HEAD-r250698-JPSNAP/stage/trees/

Thanks Guys,

I figured out the stage/trees business and was able to download the
gptzfsboot file only. I put the file on a usb, copied it to the system with
the problem (booted with mfsbsd) and issued the "gpart bootcode ...."
command to the copied file. System back up and running.

Thanks again...
