<font size="-1">Currently the user is presented

<br>

Unfortunately image id is still required even when booting from volume. There is some work being done to fix this for grizzly, so hopefully soon that will be an option. There is a bit of additional work needed around the ux of booting from a volume. It would be nice if the ui offered an option to select an image and have it copied to a volume automatically for you at boot time, but there are still a few blockers before that works cleanly.</div><div><br></div><div>Vish</div><br></body></html>
