[oi-dev] Install OpenIndiana into existing zfs pool on a GPT partition

[Klaus Ziegler]

Hi Atiq,

tommorrrow at: 19:00 CET the next OI-Maintainer Meetup takes place,
you are hereby invited to this meeting, I'm currently re-writing a new
text-based installer for OI, I allready took over responsibility for the
SPARC part of this new installer, and also implemented all what I did
in a way that it'll work for both architectures, but I would be delighted
if you take over responsibility further development on x86_64.

Many Regards
Klaus

P.S. watch this list for the invitation - it's usually sent by Till
