as this only allows us to access file systems that EFI knows about. With a loader that can only use EFI-supported file systems, we're forced to put /boot on the EFI system partition. This is suboptimal in the following ways: 1. With /boot a symlink to /efi/boot, mergemaster complains about the mismatch and there's no quick solution. 2. The EFI loader can only boot a single version of FreeBSD. There's no way to install multiple versions of FreeBSD and select one at the loader prompt. 3. ZFS maintains /boot/zfs/zpool.cache and with /boot a symlink we end up with the file on a MSDOS file system. ZFS does not have proper handling of file systems that are under Giant. Implement a disk device based on the block I/O protocol instead and pull in file system code from libstand. The disk devices are really the partitions that EFI knows about. This change is backward compatible. MFC after: 1 week |
