Hello. I have built and installed Grub from trunk (lbeit without docs and efiemu, which I don't need). I have also installed the boot code and have booted from grub. Here are my results: * grub-probe correctly identifies partitions as ZFS. * grub-mkconfig correctly generates a config file and has the correct path, insmod code for zfs-booting. * grub-mkconfig does not detect an ubuntu linux (btrfs) install on separate HDD. * At boot time, grub menu comes up, and starts to boot normally into the ZFS pool. However boot stops at mounting root because "no such file system", and BTX (the FreeBSD loader) is very unresponsive. This is probably because I have newcons installed as patch in FreeBSD-current (11). * Modified grub.cfg to include menu item having "kfreebsd //@/boot/loader" for chain-loading into BTX. Chain-load method successfully boots into zfs-based root and mounts all FS. Difference between direct-boot and chainload seems to be access to zpool.cache, which is actually different and maybe even a little buggy at this date in 11 (I had some problems with automatically bringing up non-root zpools and had to make some modifications in order to get it working)
Advise if any other info is required. Thanks and Regards. _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
