first, i installed grub2 with USE libzfs and -mutislot enabled.
after everything has done
#grub-probe /
segmetation fault
#grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
prompts with no outputs
#grub-install /dev/sda
segmentation fault
i suspect this is a bug.

What does your /dev/sda partitioning look like? To get things working with grub2 and btrfs I have to do something like this:

Code:
                                                cgdisk 0.8.10

                                             Disk Drive: /dev/sda
                                          Size: 500118192, 238.5 GiB

Part. #     Size        Partition Type            Partition Name
----------------------------------------------------------------
            1007.0 KiB  free space
   1        1024.0 KiB  BIOS boot partition       grub2bios
   2        500.0 MiB   Linux filesystem          boot
   3        238.0 GiB   Linux filesystem          root

Are you following Ryao's guide? https://github.com/ryao/zfs-overlay/blob/master/zfs-install

I had a go at that method (grub on zfs) a few months ago but decided on a seperate ext4 partition. Iirc I couldn't get it to work without downgrading to 0.6.3, installing grub and then upgrading again.

what i had use ever since is #genkernel --zfs --install --ramdisk-modules --callback="emerge @module-rebuild zfs" all. but i have a question what if i use # genkernel --zfs --install --no-ramdisk-modules --callback="emerge @module-rebuild zfs" all.
