|    slackware on zroot    |
|    09 Oct 21 21:51:21    |
      From: tom@invalid.tld              How does one install slackware onto a zfs boot environment? I just have       one storage pool on my computer and use that, instead of individual       drives. Is using slackware with zfs something I'm going to have to       fight the system over or will it work without hassle?              also, how does one install slackware from a chroot and minirootfs? The       typical slackware install requires the use of a setup tool, which is       not what i want and it requires setting up partitions, something I       don't need or want since I use zfs datasets.              I'd also like to install slackware from my already working and booted       Gentoo system via chrooting into the zboote.              for those unaware, this is how the boot works:              EFI->grub2.efi              grub2 reads and loads kernel, initramfs, and cpu microcode from a ext2       filesystem which contains zfs kernel module              linux loads into initramfs, loads zfs, and attempts to attach storage       pool. Ounce storage pool is attached a boot environment is specified to       mount as the root (ZFS=tank/ROOT/gentoo) or (ZFS=tank/ROOT/slackware       perhaps?), /sbin/init is execed, init loads other datasets in place and       system goes multiuser mode.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
