Description
illumos cannot boot from a device with an EFI label.
Because of a ZFS ZPOOL limitation (cannot set bootfs property on devices with EFI labels),
illumos cannot boot from a device with an EFI label.
illumos should be able to boot from any normal disk device, including ones with EFI labels.
Currently, only SMI labels can be booted.
This is a carryover bug from Solaris 10.
The `installgrub` command may need to be enhanced to support installing to EFI labeled devices as well (not sure).
