Okay, from what I've read in the list archives adding my second hard drive 
to a root ZFS pool isn't an option.  It would have been nice to know that 
before I started the install.  I'm trying to rearrange things and create a 
root pool that uses part of the space on my first hard drive, and a 
separate pool using the remainder of space on my first hard drive and all 
the space on my second drive.  When I started this my hard drives, which 
are connected to the primary IDE controller on my motherboard were showing 
up as c6d0 and c6d1.  I created a non-root pool on c6d1 and copied a bunch 
of stuff to it so I wouldn't have to perform a complete wipe/reinstall. 
I then reinstalled by creating a 25GB partition on my first drive for the 
installer to use.  After reinstalling, my drives are now showing up as 
c5d1 and c5d2.  Gee, that makes sense.  Anyway, after reinstalling, 
updating SUNWipkg and entire, followed by an image-update and reboot, I 
created a second partition, with a type of other, on my first drive using 
the remaining space, which is just over 90GB.  Would that partition be 
called c5d0p1?  I tried adding c5d0p1 to the pool I had created on my 
second drive and it worked but only added about 25GB to the pool.  I'm 
missing about 65GB somewhere.  If there's a way to fix this without a 
wipe/reinstall I'd appreciate some pointers.  Otherwise if someone could 
give me the proper technique to install Indiana setting up a root pool 
that uses part of the space on one drive and creating a non-root pool 
using the remainder of the space on the first drive and all of the space on 
the second, I'd appreciate it.
