Description
The loader support in bootadm was built keeping in mind the zfs based boot environments, each BE has two lines, title and bootfs line. To support other types of "boot environments", small update is needed. We would be specifically interested in supporting different type of entry for chainload support and different type of device:
tsoome@test:~$ bootadm list-menu the location for the active menu is: /rpool/boot/menu.lst Index Default Type Device Menu 0 - chain disk1: Disk1 1 - chain disk2: Disk2 2 - chain disk3: Disk3 3 - bootfs disk3s1a: Disk3_ufs 4 - bootfs rpool/ROOT/oi-431 oi-431 5 * bootfs rpool/ROOT/oi-432 oi-432
So, we should have the entry type column for menu listing; and we need to take account that the menu.lst entry may not have the corresponding entry in zfs dataset list. Note that with this change, we only address the menu listing, not creation/change.
