[OpenIndiana-discuss] Grub2 and OI

[Darko Hojnik]

On ZFS v14 its known to be working. The GRUB Devel team has applied the  
Code because it's under the GPL. Only on ZFS v28 whats will come with  
FreeBSD 9 CURRENT I don't know.

Known Issue with FreeBSD and Grub2 is, they is no way to activate a serial  
console on COM1 at startup to see all output from the kernel. You have to  
wait after boot, then it will turns on.
One of the reason why I will try OpenIndiana. All my Servers has got IPMI.
