Yes, it does ask for the root password. Note that at this point the keyboard is in US layout.

Some tips for the beginner.

How to change the root password on an existing Global Zone:

Setting the keyboard map for the console. I heartily recommend setting this if you have a non-US keyboard (issuing zfs and zpool commands on a QWERTZ keyboard is, ahem, error prone).

Setting the timezone. UTC is recommended for the Global Zone (think dates in logfiles etc), zones can be localised independently if required:

# vim /etc/default/init

TZ=UTC

or localised:

TZ=Europe/Zurich

reboot required to take effect.
