<body>
<p>UEFI-enabled <tt>boot1.efi</tt> and <tt>loader.efi</tt> have
been modified to support loading and booting from a ZFS
filesystem, as of the previous report. The ZFS-enabled
<tt>loader.efi</tt> can be treated as a chainloader when
using ZFS-enabled GRUB.</p>
<p>During this quarter, several successful tests have been
reported on simple ZFS setups, using both <tt>boot1.efi</tt> with
<tt>loader.efi</tt> as well as GRUB and <tt>loader.efi</tt>.</p>
<p>Successful tests have been reported for UFS with the
patched <tt>boot1.efi</tt> and <tt>loader.efi</tt> as well.

<p>Test reports are needed for more complex ZFS setups,
such as with log/l2arc vdevs, mirroring, striping, and raidz.</p>

<task>
<p>Pending successful reports, the patch needs to be
reviewed and committed.</p>
