That's awesome! So, to clarify... If I burn the b62_zfsboot.iso to a DVD and boot from it with the intention of doing a fresh install.... What are the correct steps to do the setup with a zfs mirrored boot? Follow the installer? Follow the netinstall or Tom's instructions?

As promised, here it is: https://jeffshare.jefferson.edu/users/blh008/Public/Solaris/ b62_zfsboot.iso.bz2 is a bootable patched b62 DVD. b62_zfsboot_cd1.iso.bz2 is a bootable patched b63 CD1. I'm not sure how useful this is unless you know how to tell pfinstall how to look to an NFS server for install media and mount the dvd image there. zfsboot.tar.bz2 is a vmware image made on a VMWare Server 1.0.1 machine. I did the install with no network setup, so you'll have to manually do the network setup yourself. I originally set it up and was going to do a sys-unconfig before tarring it up, but some broken logic in sys-unconfig sees a zfs root system as being diskless and refuses to run. That being the case I reinstalled with no network setup and haven't even done the first reboot at this point so expect to sit through the initial SMF import. (didn't take long on the machine I was doing it on). Oh, btw, in /zfsboot on the dvd/cd (shows up under /cdrom/zfsboot when you are booted into the installer) there is an example profile that sets up a non-mirrored zfsboot system. This is the exact one I used for the install of this VM, and I put it there so that if you need to change it you could copy it to /tmp and tweak it. I found that pasting into the vmware console didn't work for me and I got tired of hand-writing it. ;) Enjoy!! -brian ps: the iso's will be up shortly, they are zipping now. You will be able to tell they are done because I won't upload the cksum files until after the iso images upload completes. When you see .sum files, you know they are done. -- "Perl can be fast and elegant as much as J2EE can be fast and elegant.
