Whilst dfr@ has done a wonderful job of adapting the FreeBSD/i386
boot code to allow booting from ZFS, it looks like there's nothing
similar for sparc64.

Has anyone done any work on supporting ZFS-only environments on sparc64?

Alternatively, has anyone tried creating a FreeBSD root that can be
booted via OpenSolaris beadm?
