I just tried again with Tim Foster's script ( http:// mediacast.sun.com/share/timf/zfs-actual-root-install.sh ) and I get the same negative results...
with mirror c1t0d0s0 c2t0d0s0, I get "init(1M) exited on fatal signal 9" spam. with a straight c1t0d0s0, I get the same problem... I tried with 2 Sandisk U3 Cruser USB drive (in mirror mode and single disk )... I also tried with a Kingston because I was worried the U3 and emulated cd was causing problem... but got same result If I remove the original UFS boot disk, there is a panic message after the Solaris Version header... but it just flashes and reboot before I have the time to read it... Otherwise if I keep the original UFS boot disk, I get the init(1M) existed on fatal signal 9 crap. I am going to try one more time with a real harddisk instead of a UFS boot disk. Lori told me in a private e-mail that the mount root was a hack.. well I prefer a hack that worked than this nightmare. I would really prefer having a minimal ufs boot and mount my raidz2 rootfs than wasting days to make zfs boot work as expected! That's the thing, zfs mountroot worked perfect any support for it was taken out in build 62... great backward compatibility here!
