In fairness, I thought I should post an update ...
I posted to TrueOS suggesting they include a skip option and received a
response that it has been added to the installer. That doesn't help me
currently and I've not booted to Linux with their boot loader but it
seems I should be able to. If that works I'm hazy whether grub handles ZFS.
I appreciate the UEFI suggestions, but I use Linux From Scratch which
uses a legacy approach as standard. UEFI can be done with LFS but I'm
not there yet.

I successfully installed TrueOS but was disappointed no option existed
to skip installing a boot loader. It seems all distributions should
have that option and that's a strike against TrueOS. However, I thought
I could fairly easily boot to my primary Linux partition, reinstall grub
to the mbr, and add TrueOS to my grub.cfg.
Unfortunately, I've been unable to boot to Linux using the BSD boot
loader. Has anyone done so? If so, how?
