Re: Bug#651720: new ZFS installs completely broken in Wheezy/Sid



Control: reassign -1 src:grub-installer
Control: found -1 1.83
Control: severity -1 grave

Hi,

This issue relates to GNU/kFreeBSD installs with a ZFS root filesystem,
but with a non-ZFS /boot partition.  The previously attempted fix in
partman-zfs would have worked for all cases except this one.

I was able to test Arno's patch by editing the /usr/bin/grub-installer
by hand while running d-i.  I can confirm that it triggers creation of
the necessary zpool.cache within /target/boot/zfs, GRUB installation
succeeds, and the installed system is bootable.

Thanks!
