There may have been an ext4 partition there before, but most recently zfs
was put on those partitions. Also, I had the installer write a
new partition table to the disks, and upon reboot still seemed to detect
ext4 instead of zfs.

Seems like #635273. Did you create an ext4 and overwrite it with zfs

Please file a bug on partman-zfs. Keep in mind that I need at least
attached syslog output.
Hi Robert,
Thanks for your response.
I've pulled down the latest image from:
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/arch-latest/kfreebsd-amd64/iso-cd/

(9). Here are my notes:

This is very nice. Right now I'm having some trouble with zpool, but
I'll try to boot from a ZFS root with GRUB as soon as I get the
chance.

Hi,
It's nice to see you guys are making progress about ZFS. I figured a
status report about ZFS support in GRUB would be useful to you.
GRUB has complete support for ZFS in current trunk, provided that the
