The Gentoo LiveCD is really nothing more than a feel-nice tool for people who want to install Gentoo from a Gentoo tool; it is very much completely not required. Do your install from any medium you feel like as long as it has all the tools you need. I suppose you *could* emerge the zfs tools on the running LiveCD system if it supports fs merging but it's probably easier to use a medium that already has everything you want -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
