Tried on stable/9 and they worked great for me. > Do you have anything similar to select boot environment as well? >=20 You're right to assume that these patches are actually an incremental step in that direction (that is to say, that it's silly to load a kernel before = the menu if the menu will allow you to select an ad hoc root device). So indeed, the next step is to allow selecting your root device (be it a ZFS snapshot or alternate root for whatever purpose). I've been giving some thought to this one... and I'm actually thinking about writing this one as an FICL call-out (that is to say, written in the C code= of the loader which is then invoked by the Forth code). I have already done mockups for this, but it will take some time before you see a worthy patchset (think 10.1). --=20 Devin _____________ The information contained in this message is proprietary and/or confidentia= l.
