I'm rather sad to hear this, hoped I could help by remote advice...

Possibly, now that you have a workable disk layout, you could make
another installation (of OI on another disk) and "zfs send|zfs recv"
it into the rpool created by Sol10? ;)

Then again, as you said - you'd rather do science than sysadmin work,
so good luck to you in reaching your ultimate goals. And a flashing
red bulb to OI developers - or wannabes ready to help - that the
current installer is lacking some stuff...

Anyhow, good luck!
