I've installed Open Solaris 2009.06 on a machine with 5 identical 1TB wd green
drives to create a ZFS nas. The intended install is one drive dedicated to the
OS and the remaining 4 drives in a raidz1 configuration. The install is
working fine, but creating the raidz1 pool and rebooting is causing the machine
report "Cannot find active partition" upon reboot. Below is command line
output from the live cd during the install and post install. Note that I've
tried this a few times, so you'll see tank faulted in the post install from
previous install attempts.

If I run `zpool create -f tank raidz1 c3d0 c3d1 c6d0 c6d1` it causes the OS not
to boot saying "Cannot find active partition". If I leave c3d1 out.. ie.
`zpool create -f tank raidz1 c3d0 c6d0 c6d1` and reboot everything is fine.
This makes no sense to me since c4d0 is showing up in the zpool status as the
OS drive. Am I missing something? I've read through documentation but can't
seem to find the right piece of documentation to shed light on what I'm missing.
Thanks in advance.
