Subject: [gentoo-user] howto on setting up rootfs on ZFS?

I used the existing wiki to get ZFS up and running on my system a few weeks
ago and after getting familiar with it, beating it up a bit, and breaking
it in as many different ways as I could envision, I think I'm happy with
it. I'd now like to use it as my rootfs. I'm going to leave /boot as a
separate extX filesystem for simplicity's sake. I can't find any decent
Gentoo-related documentation on setting up rootfs on ZFS. I'm not even sure
what boot media supports ZFS (system rescue cd doesn't, and my googling
turns up a bunch of *bsd based media).

Anyone done this before and care to help a brotha out?
