Create zones for your nonroot users and applications | * If root's password changes, you must copy /etc/shadow to /usbkey/shadow and chmod it 0400. This is not done automatically | * If you wish to have the previous SmartOS behavior and bypass the dataset setup, there is a GRUB option to do so (second option on boot). Otherwise setup will run and cannot be exited. | * post-install changes to network configuration are done via /usbkey/config | * Using partitions for your data is not currently easily supported, you must use whole disks
