That may be, but all my mirror disks are like c0d0s0 c0d1s0. s0 taking
up the whole disk. On some there is a s2 on some there isn't. Also, SUN
itself mentions s0 in explaining zfs root as bootable. There is no
mention of s2. As far as I'm concerned bootable ZFS is on s0;
non-bootable drives have an EFI label ;-)
