Im not aware of any requirement to install beadm. As long as you put stuff
in the /ROOT/benam format beastie will pick it up. You are free to
manually clone and promote your datasets etc, its just miles easier to use
beadm

Similar to pkg: Because the update-cycles for ports are faster
than for the base system.

And because the packaged base system is 'just around the corner',
it's supposed to come with 11.0 RELEASE, the lines between the two
parts will blurr, soon.

While this is a great feature I still find it strange that I have to
install a 3rd party app (beadm) to get FreeBSD core functionality (BE) .
Why not make it part of the OS?

 I've made the UEFI switch which worked fine, but I'm also happy to help
 out
 with testing if anyone looks at this.

You're right: that was an error on my part. I've now got ZFS boot
working with UEFI. :)

I booted the Skylake motherboard with
FreeBSD-10.3-RC1-amd64-uefi-memstick.img and it successfully installed
to ZFS *and* loaded at normal speed. Looks like UEFI is the way to go
on Skylake systems. All tests have gone well so far.

Thanks

I noted the same. Legacy on my Skylake laptop was slow as molasses.

UEFI Rocks.
