There are a few things missing however, zpool set bootfs needs to be set. Also if you decide on encryption you may need to set vfs.root.mountfrom in loader.conf and add zpool import zboot to your rc.local because it wont automatically import the boot pool. >> Erasing the entire contents is NOT an option.

If you plan on doing a raid-z2 I assume you plan to use at least 3 disks. You want to keep your old partitions so using zfs on that disk doesn't seem ideal. I do understand how ZFS works I am using it (ZFS RAID-Z1) on three boxen but not as the root file system. I did do the research.... if you RTFH you would see that the installer uses the auto option for ZFS which wipes out and uses the entire drive. You cannot do RAID-Z2 with three drives only as RAID-Z2 has two parity drives
