All-
One of the things that didn't happen when I updated my hipster install to 2016.10 is that my machine didn't get converted from grub to loader. Presumably, it's because of the last section here: https://www.openindiana.org/2016/09/28/loader-integration/ I have mirrored ZFS root, and my two disks are formatted as such: $ printf "0\npartition\nprint\n" | sudo format [elided] partition> Current partition table (original): Total disk cylinders available: 60764 + 2 (reserved cylinders) Part Tag Flag Cylinders Size Blocks 0 root wm 1 - 60763 930.94GB (60763/0/0) 1952315190 1 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 2 backup wu 0 - 60763 930.95GB (60764/0/0) 1952347320 3 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 4 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 5 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 6 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 7 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 8 boot wu 0 - 0 15.69MB (1/0/0) 32130 9 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0 Same partition table for disk 1: $ printf "0\npartition\nprint\n" | sudo format Searching for disks...done AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS: 0. c3t0d0 <DELL-PERC H310-2.12 cyl 60764 alt 2 hd 255 sec 126> /pci@0,0/pci8086,3c08@3/pci1028,1f78@0/sd@0,0 1. c3t1d0 <DELL-PERCH310-2.12 cyl 60764 alt 2 hd 255 sec 126> /pci@0,0/pci8086,3c08@3/pci1028,1f78@0/sd@1,0 Specify disk (enter its number): selecting c3t1d0 [disk formatted] /dev/dsk/c3t1d0s0 is part of active ZFS pool rpool.

Also, would I install the loader boot block into s0, or s8? Since *both* disks are marked as bootable, do I run the command once for each disk? I haven't had a single problem with 2016.10 in more than a week, so I really don't see ever needing to go back to any of my old boot environments. I'm completely OK with the conversion to loader being a one-way trip.
