That error message is quite clear: You have to set up a separate non-ZFS
partition which serves as a boot partition. Booting from a ZFS partition
using blocklists doesn't work.

Btw, I'm surprised to read that the T5120 supports GPT disk labels? I
thought that GPT is supported on T4 and newer only.
