No, zfs boot will be supported on both x86 and sparc.  Sparc's

Hi Lori.

Can you expand a bit on the above? What sort of limitations are you referring too? (Boot time? Topology?)

I think what Lori is referring to here is that we need to limit the rootpool to BIOS/OBP visible devices; not all devices are visible from the BIOS/OBP (fibre channel devices, for example).
