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?
You're on the right track, but I think it would be
quite difficult to do without some changes to the
existing install software to get it to recognize a
pool and a dataset as a valid place to do the install.
When the build 62 community release is available
(soon, I hope, maybe today), I will test my modified
version of the install software with it and then make
that software available for download.

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.
