As far as I know, having the root pool on a stripe isn't supported. OpenSolaris supports having the root pool on a "simple" pool and a mirror pool. FreeBSD supports having the root pool on a simple pool, mirror pool and raidz, but afaik booting off raidz used to have issues. - Sincerely, Dan Naumov
