Hi,

I was wondering if there was a plan or time line in place to support ZFS boot partitions in the installer.  I Googled around a bit and found some how-to documents for setting it up in a hacky kind of way, but the impression I got is that support for ZFS partitions is coming to the installer in perhaps 7.3 or 8.0, and I wanted to confirm or dispel that myth before I go forward using the hacky method.

Thanks!
