+      <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.
