Anyway, this is out of the scope of the original question. Correct me if I'm wrong but zfs already fetches plain file /boot/zfs/zpool.cache on load. Can't this be: 1. Postponed to later processing. 2. After filesystems are mounted the keymap is loaded. Or even: 1. Put all viable files on the / partition. 2. Select and load correct one before kernel is fired. -- Sphinx of black quartz judge my vow.
