[indiana-discuss] Create empty boot environment

[Bernd Schemmer]

Hi,

 >>I'm not sure I understand what problem is being solved by attempting 
to install multiple OS's in the same pool.

Some points:

The OpenSolaris installation program does not support creating more than 
one slice on disk -- so if you have only one disk you only have on pool.

So if you want to install more distributions on a machine with only one 
disk (for testing for example) they all have to  be installed in the 
same pool

regards

Bern
