I'm trying to install on a 3 TB HGST disk which reports 512 byte sectors using

format(1m) correctly sees the size of the disk and I'm able to create a 128 GB
slice for a root pool and the rest (2.6 TB) for the eventual RAIDZ pool.
However, the installer keeps telling me that I can't use more than 2 TB.
I can't find anything about installing onto 4K sector disks in the wiki or
elsewhere.
I'm not aware of OpenIndiana-specific documentation to this problem,
but I recall reading that both the most recent OpenSolaris as well as
the current Solaris 11 can't be installed on disks>2TB. It had
something to do with booting off a disk with a GPT label.
Solaris 11.1 added the capability to fully utilize >2 TB disks for the
root pool. The installer version that OI is using doesn't have any of
that support.
