This is because grub does not support booting from gzip-compressed datasets now. At this moment only LZJB algorithm is supported, please see decomp_table here: http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/grub/grub-0.95/stage2/fsys_zfs.c#65 > BTW, using gzip-9 compression I got the whole OpenSolaris image in < > 815MB... The only issue is that it is not booting anymore ;-) Adding support for gzip may be a candidate for community project.
