It's not a derivative.Last edited by starshipeleven; 07 July 2019, 02:48 PM.

GNU GRUB is a multiboot boot loader. It was derived from GRUB, the GRand Unified Bootloader, which was originally designed and implemented by Erich Stefan Boleyn. This port does not install GRUB on the master boot record of your hard drive. To do this you will need to read the info page that is installed by the port. This port includes additional patches and fixes making it work properly with ZFS boot-environments.
It's "broken" now, since legacy and UEFI systems get by using FreeBSD's own bootloader and TrueOS moved over to using rEFInd.Last edited by aht0; 07 July 2019, 06:35 AM.

Nice, but I'm not sure if GRUB developers are still stubborn to include framebuffer deffering console take over support (to keep fb for kernel), or did they finally accepted it? It works out of the box with systemd-boot, and it have easy selection shortcuts for multi-boot, either via order numbers, and even included 'w' for Windows and so on, not sure if GRUB have those things as well?Last edited by leipero; 06 July 2019, 07:05 AM.

You're not the only one, brother. I was excited when I read this headline only to find out that the ZoL support doesn't even seem to be on the radar.
I read some stuff about systemd-boot supporting it with an option but I'm not sure about encrypted datasets. What might you know on that? Know any reading material for installing, say Arch to native ZFS encrypted root?
There's also a method to use a keyfile, like on a USB drive or /boot if using GRUB on a separate partition, and have it automatically unlock on boot with that, but I've only done it once for on non-root volume when testing and it's been awhile so I've forgotten the exact steps. Should be easy enough to find on Google if that's something you're interested in doing; though the keyfile is only worth doing if you're going to unlock something else encrypted first (like /boot) or if you're going to save your boot stick in a safe.
The keyfile is the method I plan on doing so I only get nagged once every boot...but that's only due to system limitations. I'll have /boot on an internal USB drive using a passphrased LUKS with ZFS on top of that with the restricted GRUB settings and keyfile on /boot to unlock root and lock up /boot unless necessary.

Guest repliedWell, it's time for me to flash coreboot onto my laptop again, and convert all file systems on it to f2fs.

Nice to finally see the release. I hope the Debian guys add support for F2FS boot installations in Sid.
