Hi all, nextboot warns as follows: # nextboot -k testkernel WARNING: loader(8) has only R/O support for ZFS nextboot.conf will NOT be reset in case of kernel boot failure This's on a ZFS zroot 12.4-STABLE system. Does this mean that nextboot will not do its job? I see a blog mentioning that nextboot will write metadata to the ZFS pool label, in which case maybe the warning is no longer applicable? Also I suspect I should rather run "nextboot -D" to revert the situation. Is this equivalent to removing /boot/nextboot.conf and/or this metadata in the ZFS pool label?
