One thing that is patchable for illumos / BSD's, is Calamares...



In Summary we are very Interested in Hybrid ISO support and would love 

some patches for our shellscripts to enable that. If you or anybody who 

wants to work on that wants to submit patches but needs some guidance, 

we have a weekly CoWorking session on Sunday 17:00 CEST for OpenIndiana 

where I can help with that. Or You can also mail me, or write in the 

list or in the fediverse under #illumos.




...not Kalamares, despite being the default installer for KDE OS distros. It's 
even used by a handful of Ubuntus despite being the default Fedora. Its roots 
are Red Hat, and what's interesting about it is that RH's rules are a layer on 
top of UEFI's rules, strictly there for Windows interop. There are a wide 
variety of problems out there with a wide variety of workarounds, to get 
Calamares to work with a wide variety of multiboot scenarios.

To doff the Fedora from UEFI's head:

> sudo rm -f /sbin/blkid
> sudo calamares -d

All those problems start with consulting blkid. You're in a live environment, 
the change won't persist. Only thing in the way of using it for illumos/BSD is 
device naming, not the lack of blkid.
