If you want to test the new installer I maintain a bleeding-edge build
with the newer installer.
CD ISO:
http://us-east.manta.joyent.com/nahamu/public/smartos/platform-hourly.iso
Platform tarball (for use with a USB stick):
http://us-east.manta.joyent.com/nahamu/public/smartos/platform-hourly.tgz
Using the ISO is straightforward.
If you have a USB stick, you need to move aside the existing "platform"
directory, untar that tarball and rename the "platform-<datestamp>" to
"platform" where the original platform directory was.
If you do try the new installer and it works for you, please let us know
either on the list or on the pull request at
https://github.com/joyent/smartos-live/pull/439

With the unification of SmartOS and SDC platforms, the trick of
pre-creating the zpool prior to installation no longer works.?
There is some work being done on a new installer, but it isn't
committed yet. My trick has been to install SmartOS onto the SLOG disk
(an SSD in my case) or some other disk that I won't be using in the
real pool. Then go into rescue mode, create the proper pool and zfs
send the dummy pool to the real one.?

I think this *might* be SmartOS being picky about ?best practice?
configurations.
One possible workaround would be to boot with only a single disk
present, do the install, then reboot with more active disks and
customize the ?zones? pool?

Hi,
I'm trying to modify the zones pool to be a RaidZ2 pool. ?I'm
following the instructions here -?SmartOS Clean Re-install - SmartOS
Documentation - SmartOS Wiki
<https://wiki.smartos.org/display/DOC/SmartOS+Clean+Re-install>
I've booted into the no-install grub option and created the RaidZ2
zones pool. ?However when I reboot and attempt to install SmartOS I
get the following error. ? What would be the correct way to modify
the zones pool and still be able to do a clean install?
