A tip for ZFS users:
- like some other users, the "Re-scan devices" trick didn't help for me
- I insisted on this problem just because Fixit kicked just fine on the
virgin system, and stopped working (same image) after it was installed
- a clue in my case was the appearance of a stray "Open_Disk(" in the
first curses screen (Country Selection) of sysinstall
- the USB drive was actually detected as da0
Based on this, if you interrupt loader, enter its CLI, and pre-load the ZFS
modules, the "Open_Disk(" string will disappear and you'll get back Fixit:
OK load /boot/kernel/opensolaris.ko
OK load /boot/kernel/zfs.ko
OK boot
I could not figure out why sysinstall is confused by the presence of the
ZFS drive (which is ad6, or ada0 if ahci would be loaded).
