    You might also look at the alez script and adapt a bunch of that. It's a bit out of date, and it doesn't get you a RAIDZ1 installation, but all the steps in the script add up to an arch on zfs installation at the end, it's just going to need to be figured out and done manually to get you what you want. But even running through it and ending up with an install to make sure your hardware setup is capable would be a good test.

    If you're having trouble getting ZFS up and running on the live image I can recommend the ALEZ ISO. It has a ZFS installer too but I personally never liked the ZFS conventions people keep using (such as making arbitrary ROOT/ dataset then putting everything inside it, and naming the zfs pool something generic like 'rpool'. No thanks).
