11 years ago I have 2 16gb usb sticks in a mirrored pool, and am trying to install grub to the mbr on one of the sticks. I have followed the instructions, but am getting an error when doing the zfs-grub install.
Whether this configuration is reliable depends on BIOS behavior. A single USB boot device is usually a better choice.
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of grub-gfxpayload-lists: grub-gfxpayload-lists depends on grub-pc (>= 1.99~20101210-1ubuntu2); however: Package grub-pc is not configured yet.
Something was installed out of order. If you are working in a virtual machine, then it would be easiest to scratch and try again. If not, then manually install the packages from here:
https://launchpad.net/~zfs-native/+archive/grub/+sourcepub/2387939/+listing-archive-extra
You need:
- grub-common
- grub-pc
- grub-pc-bin
Plus:
- grub-gfxpayload-lists from the regular Ubuntu archive.
A single dpkg --install command must be used to install grub-pc and grub-gfxpayload-lists.

I have 2 16gb usb sticks in a mirrored pool, and am trying to install grub to the mbr on one of the sticks. I have followed the instructions, but am getting an error when doing the zfs-grub install. I am using the latest Ubuntu 12.04 x64 live cd.
Here is the output of troubleshooting commands:
