This bug was rendered moot via 6528732 in build snv_68 (and s10_u5). We
now store physical devices paths with the vnodes, so even though the
SATA framework doesn't correctly support open by devid in early boot, we
can fallback to the device path just fine. ZFS root works great on
thumper, which uses the marvell SATA driver.

I would like to test ZFS boot on my home server, but according to bug
6486493 ZFS boot cannot be used if the disks are attached to a SATA
controller handled by a driver using the new SATA framework (which
is my case: driver si3124). I have never heard of someone having
successfully used ZFS boot with the SATA framework, so I assume this
bug is real and everybody out there playing with ZFS boot is doing so
with PATA controllers, or SATA controllers operating in compatibility
mode, or SCSI controllers, right ?
