Hi,

As per MFC r271563
<http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&amp;revision=271563>:
Make the root-on-zfs part of the installer warn a user who booted the
installer via UEFI that we do not support booting ZFS via UEFI yet


Just wondering why missing zfs support as zfs-boot technique/code is
available.
It is no offense just if someone could give hint if e.g. UEFI works with
GPT and gptzfsboot
works with GPT why efi loader cannot utilize code from gtpzfsboot to use
zfs boot fs directly.

Also if not now approximately when it will support zfs? Or there are so
many obstacles on road
rather makes mid term workaround to use efi + zfs-root-ufs-boot combo?

Thanks.
