Correct.

They can be on the root file system; it's been tested to work that
way, and with zone roots on a separate shared UFS partition, and with
an unshared UFS partition, and with zone roots on dedicated UFS
partitions.

For that last case, you must include "-m /:<path>:ufs:<zonename>"
directives to tell lucreate where to locate the alternate dedicated
UFS partition, or it'll fail.

That looks like an internal error (_possibly_ related to "add fs"
entries that lucreate is having trouble digesting).  It ought to work;
report it as a bug.
