Base System Installation Checklist:
[O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it
Initial boot: [O]
Detect network card: [O]
Configure network: [O]

Comments/Problems: The installer silently fails at the partition step,
dropping back to the menu of steps with detect hard drives selected. See
the system log below. Entering the shell and rm -rf ing the ZFS entries
in /lib/partman allows the installation to complete normally.
