It uses a /grub partition rather than a full root FS to boot from - you
still need a UFS / for the initial install, but after the first boot into
ZFS
you can reformat that and use it for swap or whatever.
The original question was about using ZFS root on a T1000. /grub
looks suspiciously incompatible with the T1000 because it isn't x86.
I've heard rumors of brining grub to sparc, but...
My particular question went both ways though; however, I would like to see
this on SPARC more than I would x86 (All my boxes at home are SPARC, the only
place I run x86 is on my POS Dell on my desk at work). So that also applies
to me. ;)
Seriously though, I've already attempted (and failed, on b38) to do the convert
to ZFS root on the PC at work, and I'm not real interested in that process, I'd
like to help start testing once we can install straight to ZFS without any hoop
jumping. I realize this isn't going to be anytime soon; however, I'm just
trying
to keep up to date so when it is ready to test (aka: bootable ISO can be
downloaded)
I've got a ton of machines to test it on.
Are you looking for a solution that (A) works, or (B) works and would be supported
by Sun?
I can't wait. ;)
You're not alone. :-)
