Tried on stable/9 and they worked great for me. > Do you have anything similar to select boot environment as well? > You're right to assume that these patches are actually an incremental step in that direction (that is to say, that it's silly to load a kernel before the menu if the menu will allow you to select an ad hoc root device). So indeed, the next step is to allow selecting your root device (be it a ZFS snapshot or alternate root for whatever purpose). I've been giving some thought to this one... and I'm actually thinking about writing this one as an FICL call-out (that is to say, written in the C code of the loader which is then invoked by the Forth code). I have already done mockups for this, but it will take some time before you see a worthy patchset (think 10.1). -- Devin _____________ The information contained in this message is proprietary and/or confidential.
