There are a few = things missing however=2C zpool set bootfs needs to be set. Also if you dec= ide on encryption you may need to set vfs.root.mountfrom in loader.conf and= add zpool import zboot to your rc.local because it wont automatically impo= rt the boot pool. > Erasing the entire contents is NOT an option.

To me=2C it sounds like you dont understand how ZFS works and you should do= some research. If you plan on doing a raid-z2 I assume you plan to use at = least 3 disks. You want to keep your old partitions so using zfs on that di= sk doesn't seem ideal. =
