This PR is light on actionable detail. Can you please describe the issue beyond "it sucks" and "a lot worse than before." (In reply to Ed Maste from comment #1) Hi, I though that the link to Twitter showed all but seems not. The old loader showed list of BEs like on page 24 of this PDF file: http://is.gd/BEADM The new loader does not display list but the 'thing' showed on the Twitter link. Regards, vermaden The new LUA loader is not at parity with the old Forth loader with respect to boot environment selection for ZFS data sets. FWIW, can confirm, still an issue on 12.x see: https://twitter.com/DLangille/status/1160994304812290049 My goal: being able to tell default from 11.1 at boot time. Ahh, this seems to be much better than I thought. I just have to press 2 to cycle through the elements. see https://twitter.com/allanjude/status/1161000010017849345 (In reply to Dan Langille from comment #6) Now make more BE's and predict their order |
