I just recently (last week) converted my "root on USB; data on ZFS" setup using 2x mirror vdevs to "root-on-zfs". Works beautifully, and can boot off any of the 4 drives in the pool. Using standard loader and gptzfsboot.
PC-BSD 9.1-p3. And, I just configured a new storage server at work using FreeBSD 9.1 with root-on-zfs, using standard loader and gptzfsboot. This one with a single mirror vdev for the OS, and a separate 7x raidz2 vdev storage pool.
