I can do this if someone will point me in the right direction. I'm about to
start a bespoke CS course via iPad for the widow and eldest daughter of a
friend from grad school at Austin who was so unspeakably rude as to die of
liver cancer last spring. That will fork into a separate
Arduino based embedded programming course for his 13 year old youngest son
after a few sessions. But I want the 13 year old to understand how EE and CS
connect
I want to start at 1950's systems so the Arduino is quite relevant at the start.

Which is not a strike against them; honestly the fact that OI boots at all with
that small of a team and minimal (AFAIK) upstream code is nothing short of
miraculous. The project just needs someone who knows UEFI in the same manner a
launch company needs a rocket scientist, despite whoever else they might have.

Is it possibly an installer issue with how the main zpool (e.g. rpool) is
created? I don’t think the bootloader in OmniOS (or SmartOS booting off a
zpool) are any different than what’s in OI, so that’s the only thing I can
think of.

Have you tried? What problems did you run into?
I do believe he was referring to OI specifically. AFAIK, OI itself (not the
live USB) has long had EFI boot issues, while other Illumos distributions such
as OmniOS don't.
Unless I'm mistaken, the issue has been repeatedly paved over in great detail
on the OI mailing list.
illumos has had support for booting from disks > 2TB for a few years
now, both in our ancient grub boot loader and of course also in the new
loader that Toomas Soome ported from FreeBSD a few years ago.
