For the time being, that's still true. You will need firmware that provides an emulated BIOS boot environment. Some work in the illumos community is on-going to get an updated, EFI-capable boot loader. Further work is tentatively on the horizon after that for actual in-OS support for booting in a purely EFI system. > I tried hacking it up using the GRUB2 from Solaris 11.3 and the > kernel/boot_archive from SmartOS, but it would just eventually hang on trying > to stop EFI services... That almost certainly isn't going to work without more work done in illumos itself. Sorry that there isn't a better answer at this time. Cheers. -- Joshua M.
