I have 2 machines running w/ FreeBSD 9.3 on ZFS filesystems (unmirrored pools, not RAIDZ's, but it isn't supposed to make any difference) & everything works AOK. I followed section 1.2.5 religiously & all went well. Some of your specific questions depend on your mobo hardware, w/ a few more details (how many (SATA ? IDE ?) HDD slots on the mobo, for example) & the list could provide more help. What I *think* you want to do is quite feasible, you won't be winging it. $0.02, no more, no less.
