This is true, it's either all or nothing on the whole-disk case (for now, we're
working on changing this to be what people seem to expect).

Given what you're doing, why specify the partitions at all, just set whole_disk
to 'true' and let the installer create the layout you want of the whole disk
being used by the root pool.

It would be useful to see the install_log file for this, but it's most likely
because you've not allocated any partitions or slices to the root pool.

Try changing the line to be:

  <partition action="create" name="1" part_type="191" in_zpool="rpool"/>

Would be easier with the full install_log - but probably best to not send to
this list, just send to me.
