Comment Actions I see that bootconfig used to have code for adding ESPs to all ZFS/UFS boot disks, but it was removed in https://reviews.freebsd.org/D28897. @imp reviewed that one, maybe you could share your opinion here if we should bring parts of that code back? I think all disks that are configured as boot disks by the installer should a working ESP after installation. If the wrong boot disks die then you are left with a system without any ESPs at all.
Comment Actions This latest version fixes the script with UFS, and makes the bootconfig script less ZFS-specific.
