[OpenIndiana-discuss] loader doesn't load

[Matthew R. Trower]

It’s in gptzfsboot; I have an Ultra 27 and get around it by dropping in an old, working version after updates.  I *believe* I had it bisected but couldn’t figure where to go from there due to the low level nature of the environment.  But it has been too many years to remember the details clearly.

I could have a look when I have time, and see if I still have that branch around, or if it’s otherwise possible to identify what I’m actually using.
