FWIW I created a series of slices using "format -e" with an EFI label. No
issues encountered, nor did I encounter any issues with creating pools on them
as can be seen from the console output.
However, when I run the text installer on the Desktop LiveImage I am not able
to select anything except the entire disk. I read the F6_help and tested all
the options allowed. With an EFI label I *must* use the entire disk.
People who write installers should not presume they are the smartest person in
the room, much less the planet. There are people who know what they are doing
and are doing things you haven't thought of successfully.
