With a proper zpool.cache in the right place (it was not generated first
time I tried), it gets further.  I'm still missing some bitsi (/usr
apparently although I did configure it...).

As this is all done in a vmware vm, I can redo everything whenever I want.
I wish sysinstall was in a higher level language than C, I could hack a bit
on it.  Right now, like many others, I feel a bit overwhelmed by the 20k
LOC...
