Here's a few observations while using <target>:

- In the S11 Express AI Guide, Example 4-18 doesn't work as advertised.
  Seems to have a typo too:

  <target>
    <target_device>
      <swap no_swap"true"/>  <!-- Should be <swap no_swap="true"/>, right? -->
    </target_device>
  </target>

  Either way, when adding the manifest, it won't validate - complains that
  <swap> needs a zvol tag, no matter what.  Same issue for the <dump> tag.

- A common case we're going to be handling is where we'll be targeting disks
  that either have a standard VTOC (slice 0 is very small, and other slices
  exist), or were re-VTOCed sometime in the past, and the <target> is going
  to have to delete all of the slices, then recreate slice 0 if you want to 
  dedicate the whole disk to rpool.

  Here's what I finally got to work, which I thought was at least
  non-intuitive.  An example of this might be handy in the manual going forward:
      <target>
      <target_device>
        <disk>
          <disk_name name="c3t1d0" name_type="ctd"/>
          <slice name="0" action="delete"/>
          <slice name="1" action="delete"/>

          <slice name="3" action="delete"/>
          <slice name="4" action="delete"/>
          <slice name="5" action="delete"/>
          <slice name="6" action="delete"/>
          <slice name="7" action="delete"/>

          <slice name="0" is_root="true" force="true"/>
        </disk>
      </target_device>

- What's the current way to eliminate the creation of /export and /export/home?

- What's the current way to create /var as part of the BE, rather than being
  shared?  The idea being to set a refquota on /var so that / can grow without
  bound, but /var could not.
