The 9.0 memstick image worked (nearly[1]) flawlessly for me, albeit on
a different kind of device. It would be really nice if it supported
installing directly onto ZFS, though, so that I could avoid doing the
install-on-UFS, copy-to-ZFS, pull-boot-drive-and-reboot,
reinsert-boot-drive-and-add-to-mirror business. Getting
/boot/zfs/zpool.cache is really tricky with the new livefs
architecture -- I was able to install on a ZFS pool just fine, but I
wasted three hours trying to make it bootable before giving up and
doing it the old-fashioned way.
(That machine is now being tested as an NFS fileserver[2], getting the
snot beat out of it by our most abusive users.)

[1] The mps driver in 9.0 is no good, and would not allow the system
to boot while even one drive shelf was hooked up. Booting with
external drives disconnected, then connecting them in multiuser mode,
works fine, although it didn't see one of the SES targets.
After cherry-picking the new LSI-supported driver from 9-stable, it
boots fine and sees all of the SES devices.
