UEFI-enabled boot1.efi and loader.efi have + been modified to support loading and booting from a ZFS + filesystem. The patch currently works with + buildworld, and successfully boots on a test machine + with a ZFS partition. In addition, the ZFS-enabled + loader.efi can be treated as a chainloader using + ZFS-enabled GRUB.

+ +

The work on boot1.efi also reorganizes the code + somewhat, splitting out the filesystem-specific parts into a + modular framework.

+ + + + +

More testing needed for the following uses: ZFS with + GRUB+loader.efi, ZFS with + boot1+loader.efi, UFS with + boot1+loader.efi (test modularization of + boot1.efi)

+ + + +

Have boot1.efi check partition type GUIDs before + probing for filesystems.

+ + + +

Get patch accepted upstream and committed.
