I have a 100% ZFS system, so the current boot block doesn't work for me 
(though I can tell it's being loaded and run).  GELI should probably be 
added to that list as well...

I assume the best thing would be to link in the ZFS code?  Or would it 
be better to install loader into the system partition as well?
