Greetings,

I have a problem that is baffling me.  My host machine is an older Dual Xeon 
machine that does not support HVM - PAE is supported.  

I have 2008.11 b98 installed as Dom0.  I'm trying to install the same as a DomU.
In the DomU, I'm starting the ssh service, logging in with X forwarding and 
starting the gui with:

(dom1) jack$ pfexec gui-install

The gui displays on my X11 system.  I click "next", and the installer does not 
recognize my virtual drive.  I can not continue past this screen.

I have verified the virtual drive exists.
(dom1) pfexec fdisk -W - /dev/rdsk/c3d0p0
* Dimensions:
*    512 bytes/sector
*     63 sectors/track
*    255 tracks/cylinder
*   1305 cylinders
* Id    Act  Bhead  Bsect  Bcyl    Ehead  Esect  Ecyl    Rsect    Numsect
  191   128  0      1      1       254    63     1023    16065    20948760

I am able to create, import, export, and destroy zpools on that drive.  I did 
make sure I destroyed any pool named "rpool" before starting the installer.

Is there something I'm missing?

I've created the domU using both virt-install and manual "xm create".  Used 
both virtual device id "0" and "xvda".
I've also tried running the gui over VNC as describe in
