I would like confirm that Solaris Express Developer Edition 09/07  
b70, you can't have /usr on a separate zfs filesystem because of  
broken dependencies.

1/ Part of the problem is that /sbin/zpool is linked to /usr/lib/ 
libdiskmgt.so.1

2/ There are probably other broken dependencies since I've already  
tried to create /usr/lib and copied the libdiskmgt to it and booting  
still failed.

3/ It is really hard to diagnose the problem because solaris will  
just panic, leaving you with a fraction of a second to read the  
message before it reboots.

4/ Is there a way to add a time out to panic reboots? I guess I'll  
have to use a video camera to capture the error message.

It would be really nice if we could fix this bug then we could have  
only a minimal root partition on two 1GB flash disk pool (/ takes  
about 500 megs) in mirror mode and have the rest of the system on  
separate raidz2 pool.

P.S. Registration on the opensolaris forum seems to be broken... it  
keeps asking me for e-mail confirmation but when I click the link it  
says the token is invalid.
