Cool; I didn't know that.

It looks like Solaris 11 supports booting from an EFI-labled rpool now; 
given grub is GPL, presumably they had to release the modifications to 
do that? I wonder how cleanly they would integrate into illumos, it 
would be nice to get away from the requirement for SMI labels on rpool.
