It uses a heavily modified version of this:

https://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS/GPTZFSBoot/9.0-RELEASE

The method it uses is not recreated explicitly on the wiki, as it has a
number of variables, especially the newer version in head that offers
encrypted and/or mirrored swap as well.

If you are interested in how it works, you can read the source code here:
