Forwarding to opensolaris-help, as I've never tried to upgrade a ZFS-root install before.

Your local neophyte here. I've installed snv_69 on a machine here using ZFS as root. (snv_72 and up have an issue on my machine where the installer cannot see the DVD drive, and thus, can't see the installation media). The GRUB bootbits live on c0d0s0. The machine currently boots from 'rootpool/snv_69'. I've been trying to install snv_74 on its own dataset while in the live system. I've been informed that LiveUpgrade is the preferred tool of choice for installing new boot environments in running hosts. However LU can't grok that my box isn't using UFS, and will have none of this ZFS business. No matter what I do, it will scream, redfaced, that it can't understand the device whose BE I'm trying to define. So then I lofi-mounted the snv_74 ISO file and am trying to install using the stuff I find there. However, because the install scripts aren't UFS aware, I would have to attempt heavy hackery to get them to do what I'm trying to do. At this point, I begin to wonder if there isn't any other way. Its beginning to look like I'd have to snapshot the snv_69 installation and BFU that up, but are there better options? Suggestions? Comments? Derisive laughter?
