[OmniOS-discuss] Can't reinstall OmniOS on CF drive

[Kent Watsen]

I have a machine whose root disk is a 8GB CF.  I installed OmniOS on 
this drive a few weeks ago, but it won't let me do it  again now (see 
install_log below).   The one crazy thing I see is that it's trying to 
create a volume with a size of "3230.54765606m" - which seems like a 
peculiar fraction to be passing into `zfs create`

How could it be that I could install 'stable' on this drive before and 
now, using the exact same OmniOS install CD, it won't let me? Any ideas 
how to clear or circumvent the issue?

Thanks,
Kent
