No, this was *absolutely* necessary for the 8.1 upgrade, because the binary-installed boot loader was still ZFS ignorant. I'm just asking if it's *still* necessary for 8.2. Does the 8.2 boot loader now know about ZFS if I install it from freebsd-update? Keep in mind, I'm booting straight from ZFS. There are no UFS partitions on my disk. -- Randal L.
