If you're following the wiki, then you're using GPT partitions and geom 
labels, yes?  Have you, by chance, tried the install with different GPT 
partition sizes, indexes, or labels?

The reason I ask is I recently had an 8.0-STABLE box on which I 
installed ZFS root on RAIDZ1, then I decided to change my GPT and 
re-install.  I could not get it to boot from ZFS until I dd'd *all* the 
drives (completely, not just the first few MB), and started the entire 
installation from scratch.
