loader ZFS integration is really great on FreeBSD, do people occasionally want to use something else? Is that why you would consider looking to support other options? Really would be nice to see loader ported to Linux - I know it was recently brought over to Solaris. Maybe a project for another day...

Thanks for the tip, the temporary mounting seems a bit like a hack so that's good to know there's a better option.

I've seen the occasional rumbling about folks wanting to use grub for one reason or another- while not necessarily ideal (having the caveats of a non-loader environment), I can see the value in it if you really don't need the amenities loader offers (debugging support, kmods).
