I saw no appreciable changes to behavior when I patched all the files in /boot with these versions. This was on a sparc64 host running 10-BETA3 (compile this morning). Notably, the kernel and modules still loaded before presenting me with the option to tell it which kernel to load: Executing last command: boot /pci@1f,0/pci@1/scsi@8/disk@0,0:a Boot device: /pci@1f,0/pci@1/scsi@8/disk@0,0:a File and args: >> FreeBSD/sparc64 ZFS boot block Boot path: /pci@1f,0/pci@1/scsi@8/disk@0,0:a Consoles: Open Firmware console \ FreeBSD/sparc64 ZFS enabled bootstrap loader, Revision 1.0 (root@snap.freebsd.org, Sun Oct 27 07:20:42 UTC 2013) bootpath="zfs:sys/ROOT/default:" Loading /boot/defaults/loader.conf /boot/kernel/kernel data=0x8d54c0+0x66180 syms=[0x8+0x954f0+0x8+0x8d7ef] /boot/kernel/zfs.ko text=0x223328 data=0xa4e0+0x17fc0 syms=[0x8+0x197b8+0x8+0x143f8] loading required module 'opensolaris' /boot/kernel/opensolaris.ko text=0x3130 data=0x2c8+0x2030 syms=[0x8+0xd98+0x8+0x929] /boot/kernel/geom_mirror.ko text=0x38430 data=0x5b0+0x20 syms=[0x8+0x16b0+0x8+0x119e] Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command prompt.
