Hi Carsten,
I have a few answers below but I'm going to refrain on answering
thumper specific questions for the moment.

The best you can do is a mirrored syspool for the system. This is a
limitation of ZFS/Grub at the moment. The rest of the disks can be added
to another pool or other pools depending on your needs.

I've installed Nexenta via the graphical network management interface on
a x2200 but I have never gotten a serial line to work for the install.

can you give a little more information on your pool configurations?
Layout/settings are good to know.

There isn't an automatic installer that I know about but you could
probably do a zfs send/receive from the install cd. To get a shell, just
hit F2 once the install program prompts for input.
