This may be a very stupid question, but....

In the current procedure, we have to install onto UFS then convert the UFS
to ZFS...

During install, we can launch a terminal and run ZFS commands...

Would it be possible, doing a fresh install, to use the terminal to run some
ZFS commands and install directly onto the newly created zfs pools during
install with b62? It seems that the only reason we couldn't now is that the
disk partitioning tool didn't recognize the zfs partitions as valid.

Or am I completely off on a tangent here?

I'm really close to putting it out there.   I'm updating
the install procedure and tool to support two things
that it didn't support before:

*  setup of a dump slice, since zfs doesn't yet support
    dumping into a zvol.  A zvol should be used for swap

*  splitting the Solaris name space into separate datasets
    for root, /usr, /var, /opt and /export.  This is not required
    at this time, but we are likely to require it, or at least
    strongly recommend it, in the released version, because
    it simplifies some liveupgrade issues.
