Note that this method is much like the old 'UFS mountroot' support which was replaced in favor of the current native GRUB boot. This method could support arbitrary pools at the cost of maintaining an extra UFS slice. You basically boot from something that GRUB can read (in this case initramfs), and then "switch" to the real boot environment. This is very different from booting natively from GRUB, as you have to maintain two separate boot environments (one on your initramfs and one in your ZFS root). - Eric -- Eric Schrock, Solaris Kernel Development http://blogs.sun.com/eschrock _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
