 Is what you are referring to?


yes



 I suggested using SystemRescue, because I had to clean up
 (hack extensively) on  Grub2 before the system would boot standalone.
 In that first Pentoo install, I use ext2 for /boot and ext4 for /


I don't use grub. I have an ext2 /boot and lilo on a md stripe :)



 If I use ZFS, /boot / and swap are all ZFS partitions, right?


they can be, but don't have to be. i've seen several people put swap onto a
zram device

That's probably the last thing I'm working on is the Exact, simple
disk/partion/ZFS setup to experiment around with the Pentoo
workstation


Besides, I'm not the swiftest on this list at juggling the intersection of
GPT, UEFI, Grub2 and the newer file systems. Not to mention mtab, fstab,
systemD etc etc...

So you will not insult me, offering up snippent, syntax and a copy
of a working (ZFS)  fstab and grub file details
