   slackware on zroot

   How does one install slackware onto a zfs boot environment? I just have   
   one storage pool on my computer and use that, instead of individual   
   drives. Is using slackware with zfs something I'm going to have to   
   fight the system over or will it work without hassle?   
      
   also, how does one install slackware from a chroot and minirootfs? The   
   typical slackware install requires the use of a setup tool, which is   
   not what i want and it requires setting up partitions, something I   
   don't need or want since I use zfs datasets.   
      
   I'd also like to install slackware from my already working and booted   
   Gentoo system via chrooting into the zboote.   
      
   for those unaware, this is how the boot works:   
      
   EFI->grub2.efi   
      
   grub2 reads and loads kernel, initramfs, and cpu microcode from a ext2   
   filesystem which contains zfs kernel module   
      
   linux loads into initramfs, loads zfs, and attempts to attach storage   
   pool. Ounce storage pool is attached a boot environment is specified to   
   mount as the root (ZFS=tank/ROOT/gentoo) or (ZFS=tank/ROOT/slackware   
   perhaps?), /sbin/init is execed, init loads other datasets in place and   
   system goes multiuser mode.
