Back in October/November 2007 when I asked about Sparc zfs boot and root capabilities, I got a reply indicating late December 2007 for a possible release. I was wondering what is the status right now, will this feature make it into build 79? This message posted from opensolaris.org

zfs boot on sparc will not be putback on its own. It will be putback with the rest of zfs boot support, sometime around build 86.

Thanks for any info.
Will it make it into Solaris 10 Update 5 as previously intended (very originally scheduled for 4, then postponed to 5)? This message posted from opensolaris.org

I see that build 81 is out today which means we are not far from seeing ZFS boot on Sparc in Nevada? This message posted from opensolaris.org

Also, Lori, do your profile install patches work with build 81? I''d like to do a fresh install of b81 to a machine, and as great as Tim''s script is, I''d really like to do it without an intermediary disk. ;) -brian -- "Perl can be fast and elegant as much as J2EE can be fast and elegant.
