< I'm trying ZFS on my laptop (Solaris 10 6/06 installed), I want to assign 2 slices for using ZFS. But when I type "format", I got <drive type unknown> message.
You've probably got all the disk over to solaris and have things mounted.
To play around with zfs on a laptop try using files instead, eg:
mkfile 256m file1
mkfile 256m file2
zpool create `pwd`/file*
etc...

< Although "prtvtoc" can give the drive type info, but I couldn't set the drive type because the root filesystem is mounted on the drive.
