Simple question, my first few attempts to use ZFS failed, and I'm still looking for errors. A simple question is do I select grub2 in Calamares to boot into a ZFS root dataset, or is there some other systemd option available specifically for ZFS?
ZFS on 24.01
FWIW I found the end of the installation.log
Starting job "grub" ( 38 / 40 )

KaOS is 64bit only operating system, you cannot install it on 32bit system.
I see no signs of this being a 32bit system (besides, ISO can't boot on 32bit), but if this is a legacy BIOS system (thus not UEFI), then ZFS is not an option to use.
