I'm trying to install on a 3 TB HGST disk which reports 512 byte sectors using the text installer. The system is an HP N40L and is intended to be a ZFS based NFS server for a Solaris 10 workstation.
format(1m) correctly sees the size of the disk and I'm able to create a 128 GB slice for a root pool and the rest (2.6 TB) for the eventual RAIDZ pool. However, the installer keeps telling me that I can't use more than 2 TB. I can't find anything about installing onto 4K sector disks in the wiki or elsewhere. I can't see why the installer wouldn't look at the EFI label and just ask which slice I want to install on instead of wanting to redo it. Will the desktop installer do what I need? Is there a purely manual approach to installing that's documented somewhere? I just need to know how to unpack the distribution properly.
