Hello Daniel,

Last time I checked up on the issue was on the 23rd of September,
it was not fixed then.
I was able to to boot from drive 0x80 after adding:

*** zfsboot.c.orig	Fri Sep 23 18:03:26 2011
--- zfsboot.c	Fri Sep 23 18:47:44 2011
***************
*** 459,464 ****
--- 459,465 ----
	heap_end = (char *) PTOV(bios_basemem);
  }

+ 	printf("Hello! I am a hack.\n");
  dsk = malloc(sizeof(struct dsk));
  dsk->drive = *(uint8_t *)PTOV(ARGS);
  dsk->type = dsk->drive & DRV_HARD ? TYPE_AD : TYPE_FD;

I am inclined to think that this is related to the way how we compile this code, 
especially when run on the following particular processor:

1 Processor(s) detected, 4 total cores enabled, Hyperthreading is enabled
Proc 1: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5630 @ 2.53GHz
QPI Speed: 5.8 GT/s.


Regards,

Christoph
