[OpenIndiana-discuss] [oi-dev] Hipster 2020.10 text installer ISO Wow!!!!

 I tried that, but probably not at the appropriate time. I'd likely done the "dd if=/dev/zero..." already. I was annoyed and got out the big hammer. So by the time I tried it, it didn't matter. Also it was a FreeBSD "zroot" label.

After I play with the AHCI stuff I may repeat the situation.

Have Fun!

On that occasion I was a bit more thoughtful and searched for the pool label and did a more surgical elimination. That was actually because the problem was the duplicate label at the end of the disk.

I believe you want "zpool labelclear", as per: https://illumos.org/man/1M/zpool
