These two types of error are probably why grub is not working properly. There is a ZFS filesystem reader in grub and it looks like it is failing to correctly access the filesystem. The reason might be the error about the BIOS not supporting access to it. This would explain why the installer worked fine and grub is toast. At this point my expertise runs out. Do you have a smaller CF card to try? BIOS issues when accessing ATA drives looks very fishy on a brand new box - it maybe just doesn't like the CF card.
