[OpenIndiana-discuss] Hipster 2020.10 text installer FAIL #3

[Reginald Beardsley]

FWIW  I created a series of slices using "format -e" with an EFI label.  No issues encountered, nor did I encounter any issues with creating pools on them as can be seen from the console output.

However, when I run the text installer on the Desktop LiveImage I am not able to select anything except the entire disk.  I read the F6_help and tested all the options allowed.  With an EFI label I *must* use the entire disk.

People who write installers should not presume they are the smartest person in the room, much less the planet.  There are people who know what they are doing and are doing things you haven't thought of successfully.
