 There are patches from Doug Rabson which add support for booting
from  
 raidz/raidz2.

	I tried it, but after a make obj && make depend the make failed with
different errors like undeclared and has no member named.

	I used patch raidzboot-14052009.diff started patching from
/usr/src/sys/ , i'm not sure if this was the right way.

	I'm also not sure if the way of installation was the right one,
here's the way i go:
	gpart create -s GPT da0
gpart add -b 34 -s 128 -t freebsd-boot da0
gpart add -b 162 -s 5242880 -t freebsd-swap da0
gpart add -b 5243042 -s 11534141 -t freebsd-zfs da0
gpart bootcode -b /mnt2/boot/pmbr -p /mnt2/boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 da0
gpart bootcode -b /mnt2/boot/pmbr -p /mnt2/boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 da1
gpart bootcode -b /mnt2/boot/pmbr -p /mnt2/boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 da2
kldload /mnt2/boot/kernel/opensolaris.ko
kldload /mnt2/boot/kernel/zfs.ko

You are about to extract the base distribution into /tank - are you
SURE
you want to do this over your installed system (y/n)? y
