[PC-BSD Testing] Install FreeBSD with ZFS via PCBSD installer

[LinuxBSDos.com]

Perhaps this
http://www.linuxbsdos.com/2010/09/01/how-to-install-pc-bsd-on-an-encrypted-zfs-file-system/
could help. It was written for PC-BSD, but should work for FreeBSD as
well.

> So, I don't think you need that /boot partition with ZFS.  At least, I'm

> might want to just create a swap partition first and then use the rest for
> zfs on /.  Just my two cents, I use this with a 3 drive raidz and it works
