From memory and not having an x86 system booted at the moment to double
check: You don't need to mess around with partitioning at all. You do need to
label the disk though (which is annoying). So your first format, when it
asked you whether or not to label, just say yes, write the label and exit.
Assuming your rpool is currently running as a single disk (it's an x86 system
and you have physically removed the old disk prior to boot), you just attach
a mirror to the rpool.
Thanks for this advice. The OpenIndiana wiki does not really address
this, although it contains a lot of apparently dated information for
how to install boot related software on the disk. It likely still
applies for people using still using OpenIndiana 51a8 or a9.
I'm not entirely sure if writing a bootblock is required, I have always done
so, but am wondering if the mirror attach already does that for you, but as
someone else pointed out earlier, it doesn't hurt to re-write it.
I am strongly suspecting that this stuff was automated during the
bootloader effort.
