As of now it is not possible to boot from zfs so I thought if I have something like grep (OK, bad example) installed through ports that might cause problem during the start up since it's part of Darwin. Then I guess my question is; is any part of Darwin (except of course xnu) involved in startup process and/or does it matter if they do? Charles >> and if so, >> what is the proper way of doing it?
