--- Comment #3 from Andriy Gapon <avg@FreeBSD.org> ---
(In reply to Matthias Pfaller from comment #2)
> But it might be nicer to skip pools without bootfs (imho).

I think that that would not be unreasonable.
But it certainly requires a wider discussion first, because there could be
people who depend on the current behaviour in one way or another,

>The other thing I don't like, is that gptzfsboot doesn't seem to be able to boot from a pool when there is only the zil on the boot device. It fails with "all block copies unavailable". I think it should just skip a pool it can't use anyway.

Hmm, this is unexpected if other devices comprising the pool are fully visible
to the firmware (BIOS).  Could you please provide some more details?
