Dear ZFS experts,
I have 2 SATA 500 GB Hard Drive on my Dual Core PC
I have installed OpenSolaris 2008.11 using Live CD I got from Sun Tech Days in
Singapore
Now, using all the guidelines I got here at Indiana Discussion, I can't attach
my second drive to rpool to make them mirror
Initially I was playing around with similar configuration in VirtualBox, and it
does not succeed. Finally I am trying it with my real machine, and it still
hasn't work
I Logged the steps, and attach it here. I hope someone who is expert can tell
me which part that I did went wrong.
Thank You,
Handojo
These are the description of the first drive using "format" :

These are the log that I capture to change EFI labeling to SMI before adding to
rpool ( and it failed. I followed this guide, and several other guide, which is
exactly the same, but it doesn't work for me )
Here's the links :

I've been changing the partition type to "Solaris", "Solaris2", "Unix System",
etc other than "EFI", but the result is still the same. Everytime I add c4d0 to
rpool, it always says : Cannot label 'c4d0': EFI labeled devices are not
supported on root pools.
Hoping to get some enlightment on this Simple ZFS Problem
