+ <body>
+ <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.

+ <p>Test reports are needed for more complex ZFS setups,
+ such as with log/l2arc vdevs, mirroring, striping, and raidz.</p>

+ <task>
+ <p>Pending successful reports, the patch needs to be
+ reviewed and committed.</p>
