Hi I've installed OS 2008/11 to a mirror 

~# zpool list
NAME    SIZE   USED  AVAIL    CAP  HEALTH  ALTROOT
rpool   232G  4.44G   228G     1%  ONLINE  -

~# zpool status
  pool: rpool
 state: ONLINE
 scrub: none requested
config:

        NAME        STATE     READ WRITE CKSUM
        rpool       ONLINE       0     0     0
          mirror    ONLINE       0     0     0
            c4d0s0  ONLINE       0     0     0
            c5d0s0  ONLINE       0     0     0
"

My problem comes as I get to the next part adding my four 500gb drives.

So the drive need to be formated right?

I ignored this and deleted the partition, and created:

Partition 1 is now the active partition.

As far as I can tell I'm doing everything right... :(

I modify the table and went whole hog (I'll try shorten it from now on.)

I created a test pool:

"~# zpool create test c4d1s0
cannot open '/dev/dsk/c4d1s0': No such device or address"

Where am I going wrong and what can I do?

All the drive were working in Windows and Linux. If I could figure out how to 
backup to ntfs portables I'd probably just do that and reinstall linux
