Missing boot partition with ZFS, system does not boot

[leonardolang]

Describe the bug
Installer shows correct partitions and volumes to be created, but fails to create boot partition during installation:

Installing with MBR

Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0xba2476a2

Device     Boot Start      End  Sectors Size Id Type
/dev/sda1  *     2048 62914559 62912512  30G 83 Linux

Installing with GPT

Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: gpt
Disk identifier: 5AB2BFF0-FEA0-4C85-B173-042F44711CBB

Device     Start      End  Sectors Size Type
/dev/sda1   2048     6143     4096   2M BIOS boot
/dev/sda2   6144 62914526 62908383  30G Solaris root

Bootloader fails to load and system does not boot as a result.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install antergos with ZFS
2. Reboot

Expected behavior
System booting properly and boot partition in place.

Many thanks for your detailed report. ZFS has not got the attention it deserves.
We're trying to not to use a boot partition so when using RAIDZ you can use the whole disks.

We will work on this one asap.

Hi,

In the mean time, is there a workaround? I'm running into the same problem.

Kind regards,
Marc.
