 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).
