I'd like to know if -current provides the following functionality to be had directly from the installer: "In the latest code, it's possible to boot directly from ZFS, no longer requiring a small non-ZFS boot partition. "No you can use only ZFS and just enjoy it," he stated." ...if not, where can I find information on the best procedure to do so? Regards, Steve
