https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=193595 --- Comment #6 from Colin Percival <cperciva@FreeBSD.org> --- I'd say that if machdep.bootmethod is UEFI and the user selects ZFS booting, they should get a "ZFS booting is not supported on UEFI, your system will be set up for legacy booting" warning message. That would avoid the astonishment I experienced while allowing users the option of changing their selection if using UEFI is important to them. (In my case, my laptop does support legacy booting, so I'll probably stick with ZFS in spite of the lack of UEFI support, but some people will definitely need UEFI -- so we can't assume that one solution will be right for everybody.) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
