If you would like speed when installing the system I recommend mfsBSD - http://mfsbsd.vx.sk/. As pointed out in the web page there is a script (zfsinstall) that does all the work for you. It does all the steps described in the wiki - http://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS/GPTZFSBoot/Mirror. If you want to gain knowledge about the process of installing FreeBSD with root on ZFS then go with the wiki article. Using mfsBSD I install a 8.2-STABLE custom system in under 5 seconds. That's pretty neat :). a great day, v -- network warrior
