ZFS automated install script

Before moving on I need to point out that there exists a script that can automate the configuration and install of a ZFS root system. However as convenient as it sounds the script is limited in flexibility and scope. These limitation cannot be overcome unless one has the time and compacity to edit the script to their liking. If you want to install a ZFS root system as quickly as possible and don't care about any particulars than take a good look at this github page.
