Hi Reg
Try Raidz1, Raidz2 as root had some problems when I tried last. Although
that was 1-2 years ago. So it might work now. But I have not yet seen
any installation with RAIDZ2 as root it's quite rare.

I did an install of 2020.10 from a text USB stick on an HP NL40 with a 4x 2 TB
RAIDZ2 root pool this morning without any issues.
My Z840 showed up and things have not gone well. After a bit of BIOS fubar I
was able to create a RAIDZ2 pool, but the pseudo device names were very long.

When the system arrived it had Windows 10 installed. I booted that and it was
OK, so I pulled the disk and installed 4x 4 TB Toshiba X300 disks.
On boot the Live Image Desktop came up, but I could only see 2 of the 4 disks.
Fiddling with the BIOS eventually got it to see all 4 drives, though at one
point format(1m) could not see any disks until I reset the BIOS to factory
defaults.
Now the Desktop won't come up. If I run the text-installer on the GUI ISO in
single user mode it crashes. Bug #13734.
The USB text-install ran and installed, but the system doesn't boot. I've not
yet done an installboot to all the disks. That's next. If that doesn't work
I'll try S11.4.
The Z840 BIOS is *very* different from the Z400. But I've successfully
installed 2020.10 in a single 5 TB pool using the GUI DVD and the
text-install script on a Z400.
