i'm sure that you have already checked this out, but there is a howto in the wiki pages http://wiki.freebsd.org/ZFSOnRootWithZFSboot i tried this procedure twice on a i386 (once on a vm and once on an actual pc) and worked. (tho a nasty bug preventedme from keeping my root on zfs) it's about a zpool and not raidz/z2, but i'm pretty sure that the same apply to those too. cheers -- God, root, what's the difference?
