Does 4GB really satisfy it? I've been installing AI in pv guests and
the resultant install is over 5GB. The pkg download cache, swap,
and dump constitute 2GB of that however.

I think bios boot disk should be the preference if we've got
multiple disks that pass all other requirements.

What about every time a user adds a custom manifest to a service;
would the same message come out for that operation? I'm not
sure how useful this would really be for either case. There just
seem to be too many other inherent calculations going on in the
decision making process for this one piece of information to be
usefule.
Choices might be:
unformatted disk
largest disk
boot disk
device name
volume name
Have you considered a "don't touch" tag?

We do? I've been doing tons of PV guest installs where theres
no existing Solaris2 fdisk partition, and it creates one. Does it
only fail in certain cases? These disks are completely blank.
