I believe the plan is to track the releases, though perhaps only in the

Yes - EFI booting clearly does require support from the BIOS, since in this
case the traditional PC BIOS is replaced by an EFI BIOS. Only Intel Macs use
EFI rather than a traditional PC BIOS. (OK, so there are probably a few others
out there, but not in any great numbers).

Last I heard, no support yet for EFI boot. I'm not sure if that's

Historically I've used hardware raid1 for the boot disks on my servers.
With the availability of ZFS root, I want to explore making the two
underlying drives directly available to the operating system and create a
ZFS mirror to avail of error detection and self-healing.
