I don't think any of the usual bootloaders support ZFS. The usual way to handle that is to create a small /boot filesystem using something else like ext4, just like you did back in the days when large hard drives weren't supported by the BIOS and therefore the bootloader couldn't access their entire capacity. The installers for most distros can handle setting up a system that way.
