Bug#648109: Impossible to use zfs as rootfs without creating a volume; should allow creating zfs filesystems (not just volumes)

You have to create them as volumes. Afterwards you'll be given the
option to use ZFS in those "volumes", in which case they'll be
converted to native filesystems.
I'm sorry, I know this isn't obvious but this problem isn't easy to solve.
