Hi,
I am seeing some issues when testing Sparc text installer (TI) built
from recent install bits (chset 4e36cd97c015, rest taken from build 14).
In particualar, I have tried to install in LDOM on virtual disk backed up
by previously created ZFS volume, so the disk was 'empty' - verified by
running
set of CLIs (*) from install environment.
Even if disk is supposed to be clean, TI reported on 'Disks' screen that
there is an 'rpool' on slice 0, even if no slice 0 is available.
On subsequent screen I selected 'Use the whole disk', but was provided
with 'Slice' screen.
I then proceeded further (by pressing F2) and at the end
was able to install successfully.
It seems to be LDOM specific, as I didn't see that when running
the same bits in VirtualBox (tried with just created empty VB disk).
I wanted to check if those are known or new issues or if there might be
something wrong with how I built the image.
I attached 'screenshots' of discussed screens.
Thank you,
Jan
(*) CLIs run from install environment to observe LDOM disk

Oracle Solaris will be installed in the "rpool" slice. Use the F5 key to
change a slice to "rpool."
A slice's size can be increased up to its Avail size. Avail can be
increased by deleting an adjacent slice. Use the F5 key to delete a slice
by changing it to "Unused."
Slices are listed in disk layout order.
