If I understand this explanation correct
(https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/182179/2017/03/sort/time_rev/page/1/entry/18:200/20170310150358:AFC98960-05CC-11E7-B128-CC58F01E9545/)
then it boils down to that libdiskmgmt will assign a devid to each disk
which in turn will all zeroes and apparently this confuses the kernel
since it seems that the kernel distinguishes one disk from another by
comparing devid's. Eg the physical disks are detected but since they
are given identical devid the kernel maps entries to the same disk.
This would also explains why diskinfo only displays one disk which is
the last disk. Diskinfo and format obviously sees disks from a
different perspective.

Found another issue using #1:
Everything goes as expected until the time when image is supposed to be
transferred to the rpool - installation simply hangs. See screenshoot.

Increasing memory to 1 GB solves it so maybe add to wiki that memory
requirements is 1 GB.

Hi Dan,

As you might have noticed from the illumos developer list the problem
with disk discovery was caused by a requirement for the kernel to have
unique id's assigned to disks. Maybe this should be mentioned somewhere
in the wiki? It might also solves problems regarding xen?

Apart from the above I have found another issue which might could be
solved more elegantly. Given disk(s) provided for install contains an
exported pool the disk(s) does not show up using #1. Maybe a notice to
the user should be given to either discard the pool and continue
selecting disks or import this pool and continue the install using this
pool as rpool. What do you think?

SHOOT!  I guess it doesn't work like that.

I'll fix it, and update here.

Sorry,

I feature request:
Given that diskinfo finds more than one disk under option #1 it would
be nice to be able to choose 2 disks to create a mirrored rpool.

Thanks for the blog post.

I'm going to be upstreaming the sources I've changed in 
https://github.com/omniti-labs/kayak/ very soon.  I think it may be useful for 
you to take a look at the beginning of kayak-menu.sh or rpool-install.sh to 
make this happen.

Thanks,
Dan

This doesn't appear to be carried through to the installed system.

The way illumos does this is a bit of a twisty maze that I ended
up digging into a while back:
