Normal MBR install, then go to shell. Save the gpart partitions to bootpool ( gpart backup ada0 and ada0s1 ). Reboot and go to LiveCD. Import bootpool, recreate gpart partitions with gpart restore. Recreate the bootblocks ( gpart bootcode -b /boot/boot0 ada0 && dd if=/boot/zfsboot of=/dev/ada0s1 count=1 && dd if=/boot/zfsboot of=/dev/ada0s1a skip=1 seek=1024 ). Reboot and its working. Maybe gpart is using pending mode in zfsboot script, i will look later. Thanks to Warren ( i will try the gpt hints, too )!
