- can you run gpt show for the device?

ZEVO aside for a moment. My general optimism about goodness of the file system is loosely based on an obscure kernel panic, of a different type, that can occur around mount time on Intel Macs running Snow Leopard or Mountain Lion without any edition of ZEVO. These two steps to panic assume that distributions of installers for FreeBSD are good:
- burn but do not mount FreeBSD-9.0-RELEASE-powerpc-release.iso
- insert the burnt disc.
Caution with that particular .iso – allowing Disk Utility to mount after burning, or simply opening the .iso with Finder, can cause a panic. (The bug has been fed to Apple.)
Postscript, 2012-10-03: this is not an encouragement for people to people to use that .iso or disc to cause a panic. It was a general reassurance that the kernel may panic in the presence of a file system that is good.
