I would think, but have not tested ZFS with UEFI. > Do I manually copy boot1.efi to the existing EFI partition? Yes. Mount the EFI partition with msdosfs, then copy boot1.efi to /EFI/BOOT/. Then comes the tricky part, getting the UEFI firmware to add that as a boot option. In a Dell UEFI system, it could be added to the boot options, and the firmware has the user select the file from the EFI partition for that option.
