I don't really see the value of these additions. Not only is ZFSBootMenu an alternative to GRUB, but it won't tolerate having kernels on a separate filesystem from the root. (Our views on separate boot pools are abundantly clear.) A primary purpose of these guides seems to be to show users how to install distributions with a separate pool for /boot, making them completely moot for users who want to adopt ZFSBootMenu.

If you want to leave a reference to ZFSBootMenu, please change your last sentence ("Refer to their site for installation details.") to something like

However, the filesystem layout proposed in this guide will be incompatible with ZFSBootMenu. Alternative installation guides for several distributions are provided in the ZFSBootMenu documentation.
