This is a problem since how can anyone use ZFS on a PC??? My
motherboard is a newly minted AM2 w/ all the latest firmware. I
disabled boot detection on the sata channels and it still refuses
to boot. I had to purchase an external SATA enclosure to fix the
drives. This seems to me to be a serious problem. I put build 47
and 50 on there with the same issue.
A serious problem *IN YOUR BIOS*.
You will need to format the disks, at ordinary PC (fdisk) labels and
on those create Solaris partitions and give those to ZFS.
take a look at the EFI/GPT discussion here (apple):

I suspect a lack of an MBR could cause some BIOS implementations to
barf ..
does our fdisk put an MBR on the disk? if so, does the EFI vdev
labeling invalidate the MBR?
