Description

To support automatic boot block updates on disk, we are attaching version info to "boot1" boot program. For BIOS version, the "boot1" is gptzfsboot, for UEFI, it is currently boot1.efi.

The version info does look like:

tsoome@beastie:~$ installboot -i /boot/gptzfsboot 
Extended version string: 1.1-2017.9.11.2
MD5 hash: 9637b04f69fbe86510932b47f72b3665

Once 8756 is integrated, we need to get the same result for boot1.efi:

tsoome@beastie:~$ installboot -i /boot/boot1.efi 
Extended version string: 1.1-2017.9.11.2
MD5 hash: 7390812cf90d3248dffb568d49cedad0

This will allow us to decide if the boot1.efi will need update on ESP or not.
