Hi Carsten,

I'm currently re-writing the text-installer for SPARC in SHELL without all that
Python and or C stuff.

If the Live install media is used for installation of Openindiana, there are tow choices for install:
- text-install
- gui-install

It seems the gui-install uses always cXt0d0sY for creating rpool instead of cXt0d0. Nowadays this do not deliver a bootable rpool.

static int
prepare_zfs_root_pool_attrs(nvlist_t **attrs, char *disk_name, uint8_t slice_id)
{
...
    snprintf(zfs_device, sizeof (zfs_device), "%ss%d", disk_name, slice_id)
...
}

Theoretically it is possible to create a Zpool in any slice and also there in slice 0 of a prepartitionated disk. Make this still sense? I would propose to remove the statement for adding the slice part.

... or the gui-installer at all?
