[bug #45021] grub install error in zfs raw-disk installation

[Kostya Berger]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #45021 (project grub):

Here it is.

BTW, this is taken from the zfsboot man page about the bootloader installation
into the whole-disk zfs pool. May be helpful:
-------------------
zfsboot is used on BIOS-based computers to boot from a filesystem in a ZFS
pool.  zfsboot is installed in two parts on a disk or a partition used by a
ZFS pool.  The first part, a single-sector starter boot block, is installed at
the beginning of the disk or partition.  The second part, a main boot block,
is installed at a special offset within the disk or partition.  Both areas are
reserved by the ZFS on-disk specification for boot use.
...
dd if=/boot/zfsboot of=/dev/ada0 count=1 
dd if=/boot/zfsboot of=/dev/ada0 iseek=1 oseek=1024
------------------

However, with grub-install this technique wasn't needed. The most simple
"grub-install (--boot-directory) $device" command worked fine. Except that it
doesn't work this time.

And here is the file attached.
