      If using auto-partion entire disk it works..
      When you look at what it's about to do it shows the ZFS partiton as no mountpoint (blank).

      If I try to manually create a partition layout (expert mode).
      Partition Schem is: GPT
      p1 = efi
      p2 = freebsd-swap
      p3 = freebsd-zfs

      If I leave the mountpoint for zfs blan (as seen in auto zfs install mode) when you click commit
      It errors with: "No root partition was found. The root FreeBSD partition must have a mountpoint of '/'.
      (sure- agreed).

      If I do the same but specify / as mountpoint for zfs partition it it gives warning:
      "This filesystem (freebsd-zfs) is not bootable on this system. Are you sure you want to proceed?"

      After Click YES-

      "Partitioning error
      An installation step has been aborted. Would you like to restart the installation or exit the installer?"

      If I do same steps as above but use freebsd-ufs instead of zfs, it works and lets me do it.

      I feel more like I do now.
