My understanding is that it is not possible to boot from an EFI labeled disk.
Has that changed? In a way it's moot as I just got the UPS tracking info for
3x2 TB disks. But the info might help someone else.
The Oracle docs I was pointed to were very specific that you couldn't have a
VTOC label larger than 2 TB and couldn't boot from an EFI label.

Given the statement that Oracle managed to change something in this
regard in recent Solaris, I wonder what it was? Ditch the VTOC-only
support in installer/GRUB/rpool import and mount, and allow use of
plain GPT partitions?
Yes, the boot loader was changed to GRUB2, and support for EFI
partitions was added to the boot and installation infrastructure.
