You mention that no UFS slices are necessary using the patched DVD netinstall -
is a dump slice still needed?
It looks to me, from looking at Tim's script, like you end up with
the same swap/dump slice that you had when you initially installed
the system with a ufs root (the script doesn't appear to be
setting up a swap zvol). So if you used the manual procedure,
with or without Tim's script, it looks like you don't need to
create a dump slice. Though in that case, you're not exercising
the zvol as a swap device.
If you use my netinstall kit:
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/boot/netinstall
and set up your profile as recommended in the README,
you'll get a zvol as swap and a slice for dump (since we aren't
able to dump into a zvol yet.)
Will we need to use this kit for further builds or will it be updated
for new builds as they arrive?
The same kit should work for future builds, until further notice.
