Just to clarify,
If we wanted to do this with ZFS as the entire disk (where we currently have
UFS), would we copy everything over (the cpio bit) to an uninvolved
filesystem, then do the zpool on the disks that used to have UFS (and the
one we are mirroring to) -- thus destroying the original UFS
We will make the manual and netinstall instructions available to
non-SWAN folks shortly.
The manual instruction is available at
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/boot/zfsboot-manual/
We are still working on the Netinstall/DVD binary/setup kit.

Yes, running Solaris as Dom0.
I will be letting each domain owner choose their own OS for their DomU.
I will also be running some unmodified DomU (like JNODE), which is why I
bought a system with AMD-V.

It appears to be a bug with the partitioning tool in the installer.
I clicked Cylinders and noticed that swap started at cylinder 3 and /
started after it.
Changed it around to make swap the last bit of the drive, and make / start
at cylinder 3, and it is continuing fine with 240GB (or so) '/'
