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.
