> When doing the root-of-zfs install, cycle the partition type option from 'GPT' to 'GPT + LenovoFix' and see if that solves it.

On a Lenovo ThinkPad E560, I tried adding 'ThinkPad E560' to this script:
https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/blob/master/usr.sbin/bsdinstall/scripts/auto#L225

To install on UFS, one can select MBR or GPT. Only MBR will boot.

To install on ZFS, there are more options.
Using GPT: BIOS, UEFI, and BIOS+UEFI. Neither option will provide a bootable
installation.
Using MBR: BIOS, GPT + Active, and Lenovo fix. Neither option will provide a
bootable installation as well.
