This makes MUCH more sense.  The documentation should be updated.  

It should be clear that the installer requires installation to a single pool on a single disk although additional drives/pools may be configured following installation.  As written it currently implies that only a single drive is supported by the OS.  Limiting the operating system and ZFS to only a single drive seemed quite arbitrary and would seemingly defeat the purpose of a file system like ZFS.  

Thanks!
