Arif,

You need to boot from {net | DVD} in single-user mode, like this:

boot net -s  or boot cdrom -s

Then, when you get to a shell prompt, relabel the disk like this:

# format -e
<select disk>
format> label
[0] SMI Label
[1] EFI Label
Specify Label type[0]: 0

Then, you should be able to repartition however you want.

I accidentally created a zpool on a boot disk, it paniced the system and now I can jumpstart and install the OS on it.

This is what it looks like.
