Hello Community,

 Like others said in their answer to your question, you don't have to put
/boot on UFS, just go with root on ZFS.
If you would like speed when installing the system I recommend mfsBSD -
http://mfsbsd.vx.sk/. As pointed out
in the web page there is a script (zfsinstall) that does all the work for
you. It does all the steps described in the
wiki - http://wiki.freebsd.org/RootOnZFS/GPTZFSBoot/Mirror.

 If you want to gain knowledge about the process of installing FreeBSD with
root on ZFS then go with the wiki
article. Using mfsBSD I install a 8.2-STABLE custom system in under 5
seconds. That's pretty neat :).

a great day,
v
