zfs discuss - Jun 2008 - ZFS Root Install with Nevada build 90

I''ve got Nevada build 90 on 6 CDs and I''m trying to install it
to a ZFS root - functionality that was added to the text-mode installer in build
90. Unfortunately I''m not offered the choice of using the text-mode
installer! How can I install build 90 on SPARC to a ZFS root? I''ve done
this successfully on x86/x64.

Thanks

Andrew.

Something like

ok boot cdrom - text

should do it.

have a look at the screenshots at my article (in German):
