Describe the bug
Installer shows correct partitions and volumes to be created, but fails to create boot partition during installation:
Installing with MBR
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0xba2476a2
Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type
/dev/sda1 * 2048 62914559 62912512 30G 83 Linux
Installing with GPT
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: gpt
Disk identifier: 5AB2BFF0-FEA0-4C85-B173-042F44711CBB

Many thanks for your detailed report. ZFS has not got the attention it deserves.
We're trying to not to use a boot partition so when using RAIDZ you can use the whole disks.
We will work on this one asap.
Hi,
In the mean time, is there a workaround? I'm running into the same problem.
Kind regards,
Marc.
