But a root pool requires a slice and the disk should be labeled with SMI, true?
So what I did is I partitioned the disk so only the first slice was left using the whole disk, then labeled the disk as SMI (still in the part section of format to prevent that the default SMI layout with swap gets installed) and then it worked for me. But maybe Silvan is addressing another problem. Regards, Stefan
