I tried the tutorials from Gentoo wiki and failed. Here's my GPT layout:
1 - 1MiB GRUB BIOS boot partition 2 - 256MiB FAT32 /boot 3 - 465GB ZFS single disk pool
I created a hybrid MBR and marked the 2nd GPT partition as the boot partition. Sadly, nothing came of it. My laptop's BIOS can't pick that up. Any clues?

I've never tried to do this before. what laptop are you using and can it boot from a normal single disk GPT partition?
and usually (just a normal MBR setup) the 1st partition is the boot partition and from that partition dictates what partition to go too for the OS.

It's a Toshiba Satellite A660-11M. It had its BIOS updated to 2.30. It can't boot from the GPT partition unfortunately, that's why I tried resorting to a hybrid MBR+GPT. Edit: Did it. Needed to install GRUB on the drive the GPT was imported to.
