The initial boot fails, the system will reboot again and then it = succeeds, though more predictable than with the BETAs I=E2=80=99m trying to see the differences in screen recording I made, = and I can only see the =E2=80=9CImage base=E2=80=9D is changed. Load path, load device, bootcurrent, bootinfo path, currdev (disk0p1, = EFI)) has not changed. Either something in the loader(s) was changed, or the RC1 to RC2 update = placed contents on more =E2=80=9Cfavourable" places on disk that made it = possible to boot again. But I do not understand how the loader interacts with the (Vmware) EFI = firmware to make sense out of it. > On 10 Mar 2021, at 12:22, Ruben van Staveren <ruben@verweg.com> wrote: >=20 > To continue on the subject of UEFI booting weirdness >=20 >> On 9 Mar 2021, at 16:57, Ruben van Staveren <ruben@verweg.com> wrote: >>=20 >> If I press escape and end up in VMWare=E2=80=99s UEFI setup screen I = can boot from any ada*p1 drive and continue as normal. >> Is UEFI with OpenZFS too new, or is this an issue in VMWare? >=20 > I got an off list tip to see whether this was also the case in bhyve, = so I also created the setup in there, using UEFI boot, and no problems = even with the special/log/cache NVMe vdevs attached to the pool. >=20 > So I=E2=80=99m starting to wonder whether the loader / VMware UEFI = firmware (??) interaction is a bug in VMware or an edge case that needs = to be supported too. >=20 > Btw, bhyve is looking nice these days! >=20 > Cheers, > Ruben >=20 --Apple-Mail=_B5046A8B-C7BB-4009-BF52-3CF38DE8A16A Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: Message signed with OpenPGP -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBAgAdFiEEJ5YXTZtFY5bgSLwXiG9r7NR3qT8FAmBOIOAACgkQiG9r7NR3 qT9YzA/9Fm9eCYKxyvpBPHwlr2aW9r13YZGqx4IJYHB8LBh/5KyzLMaJOOMJqe5y /yCdjvj4+NjIW0gk5qAidcXsI8d6YuwH1185rErTgJ0evOMqnpyI7ZxEbpi1tV4/ XIZZo1asK+SSlwz/XXQEgj8MXdDOAnvSW4AtFoXeI7glXhfKC5x230Cd3fUTTFwF sTtQlRbTzo+v0wO67za3RZE3Lp3rBFbnsSbgLlp+eY9880ht3ScvGXYpGqK8naBr u8tWU9TLcpZGBum0MlmOsvnTl5S2VNvWRAAsEGkJHg11+MKgGPZFb8IydMf8uGQY PQR60t8mkSJTBOqYO8k1r5ciFNeNfNH+OgPtFy/yvToXOGHAcYAbeWbIc2LJraBa 1YPv08RYh9Ehgr7e+zjpms/DZLpg4LT6PGYvVN5qZEch5sqgXlLLtiRaHsgvWxld lREY0BxrGqGR55eqn4KkJKCwHUNW3ok9lQoPobpYTb9OpBkiDorT43JMVmdm7vf/ PHAYKyjGS3b2khFsmRdLS4LGmPwF1Oup/rt4sv+SC6VaBlRrYGfiQSVzYUUa6jsm hkgbIomM5v5mFTG5UdvSD8BN9Ed6iMhSY6352YVEgX+qYaClM0CLkEmz5QqUQ3CN l0NHr9yb7HJST35C7C5KrxjMRGBfuMtXkD3v+rz9goi6AULMm7s= =Nv/2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Apple-Mail=_B5046A8B-C7BB-4009-BF52-3CF38DE8A16A--
