zfs discuss - Mar 2006 - SunFire X2100 bios dislikes ZFS''s EFI labels, too

Back in December, there was some discussion here about the Ultra 20''s
bios being confused by the EFI labels ZFS uses.

After seeing a report about the X2100 exhibiting the same behavior as
the Ultra 20, I reproduced the problem and filed:

6407133 X2100 bios intimidated by ZFS-created EFI labels

hopefully that bios will get fixed, too.

Isn''t it the same board in both U20 and X2100 ?

from looking at pictures of each system, they have a similar but not
identical motherboard (could be the same PCB populated differently --
the most obvious difference is that the X2100 has empty space & solder
pads where the U20 has PCI card slots).

On the software side, it looks like they have a different supplemental
CD and apparently a different BIOS image.
