Looks ok... but we should start signaling zfs + bios is running out of room

| 100 | I added a warning, but didn't make it specific to ZFS. Should I? Is this scary enough? btw, the current gptzfsboot is only 177K, so it seems like it has a fair amount of room for growth? | |

| 92 | 175kiB is the current size of gptboot. So maybe we should suggest a smaller number like 180k? | |

Instead of 256K? I can do that on the commit if that works. btw, I think you meant gptzfsboot. | |

| 92 | ah, yes I did. More echos of the gptboot vs gptzfsboot being the same confusion... | |
