AFAIK grub2 has a zfs module and therefore zfs support. I was just |
| 9 |
reading the thread announcing the freeze for grub 2.0, and there was a |
| 10 |
bit of discussion there about it, so whatever licensing issues they had |
| 11 |
with it previously, appear to have been worked out, as it's supposed to |
| 12 |
be part of grub 2.0. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
So at least the grub-9999 build should have zfs support. 1.99 probably |
| 15 |
has it in some form, but I don't know what its status is. Those are both |
| 16 |
in the gentoo main tree, tho both are masked. |
