Ok I got beyond the first part by patching 
/usr/libexec/bsdintall/zfsboot to create 800GB partitions.

Now I have some questions as the zfs raidz-1 on root will not boot from 
boot0cfg which I installed upon my original setup booting win7 and 
freebsd 10.0.

Will Grub2 boot FreeBSD11 installed on zfs raidz-1?
If so can someone give me the scoop on how to do that as I just can not 
afford to mess that up.
It will need to boot Win7, freebsd-10.0 and freebsd-11.0 on zfs raidz-1

I can I move the raidz install to different SATA controllers?  or will I 
need to get down and dirty and fixup the drives in the raidz ?

As Always Thanks
