So, I've long known and it makes sense that when you're booted from a =
ZFS volume, you can't mess with the boot-loader. And, I know a few =
months ago I had a set of commands I would use when booted from a CD =
that would initialize the network and copy the "release/boot" from =
somewhere else so that I could install bootblocks and boot-loaders from =
more recent code. Sadly, I didn't _record_ those commands I was using.
What do "people in the know" do when they want to update the =
bootblocks of a ZFS-boot system? Or, have too few people followed this =
path so far that they can boot UFS and do it with less difficulty?
Thanks. Happy for any information.
