Yes start fresh install as said from live media, and give whole disk to 
it to make it part of rpool,
As alp said, installer now can use more drives for install, but first 
installing on one drive and then use vtoc plus loader reinstall also works.
We're also on #openindiana IRC on Freenode, if you want to fire your 
irssi, hexchat or xchat and drop buy.
