Right:D well, the loader related manuals are in illumos-gate/usr/src/boot tree,
those are from freebsd, and so using the layout and details specific for fbsd,
most have suffix 8, but few have also 3 and 5. The same are also accessible via
freebsd web interface. If any specific questions arise, I will help, no problem.
Also there was headsup in illumos developers list and alp did collect some list
of questions/answers.
rgds,
