Hmm, I think I saw this warning on more recent ZFS.
All in all we currently print this when we upgrade root pool we print
the following:
If you boot from pool 'foo', don't forget to update boot code.
Assuming you use GPT partitioning and da0 is your boot disk
the following command will do it:
gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 da0
(Note, that bootfs property doesn't have to be set to boot from a pool.)
We should print similar information when:
- We set bootfs property.
- Add new vdev(s) to root pool.
- Attach new vdev(s) to root pool.
