You're right: that was an error on my part. I've now got ZFS boot working with UEFI. :) I booted the Skylake motherboard with FreeBSD-10.3-RC1-amd64-uefi-memstick.img and it successfully installed to ZFS *and* loaded at normal speed. Looks like UEFI is the way to go on Skylake systems. All tests have gone well so far. Thankshome | help
