+Filesystem type on dedicated ZFS root pool slice isn't zfs type:
+================================================================
+It is possible that previous installations left over old partition
+signatures or fragments, which prevent a successfull installation.
+None multoboot installtions typically break down the VTOC of your
+boot-disk into the following setup:
+
+Part      Tag    Flag     First Sector          Size          Last Sector
+  0     system    wm               256       256.00MB           524543    
+  1        usr    wm            524544       476.68GB           1000198798

+
+During implementation of multiboot setups, it has been discoverd that it
+is possible to create ZFS filesystems on a PCFS filesystem type, but later
+the installboot command fails on the rpool slice, with error messages:
+
+Booting pcfs from EFI labeled disks requires the boot partition.
+
+Therefore the installer checks the filesystem type signature and that's
+the reason why you read this. Please re-check the filesystem types of
+these first two VTOC slices:
+
+# /usr/sbin/fstyp /dev/rdsk/<your disk>s0
+  it should respond with: unknown_fstyp (no_matches)
+
+# /usr/sbin/fstyp /dev/rdsk/<your disk>s1
+  it should respond with: zfs
+
+If one or both of these slices respond different, first destroy the ZFS
+rpool, which might already exist:
+# zpool list
+NAME    SIZE  ALLOC   FREE  CKPOINT  EXPANDSZ   FRAG    CAP  DEDUP    HEALTH  ALTROOT
+rpool   476G   540K   476G        -         -     0%     0%  1.00x    ONLINE  -
+
+# zpool destroy rpool
+
+Next step is to clean the signatures of the slice(s) using dd:
+# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rdsk/<your disk>s0 bs=1M count=16
+# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rdsk/<your disk>s1 bs=1M count=16
+
+The last step is to revert the VTOC label, which had been created by the
+installer using the format program:
+# format
+or you use a combination of prtvtoc / fmthard:
+# prtvtoc -h /dev/rdsk/<your disk>s0 | tail -1 | fmthard -s - /dev/rdsk/<your disk>s0
+For your convenience the installer has already created a script to do so: /tmp/vdisk
+it should respond with: fmthard: New volume table of contents now in place.
+Please double check you installation disk in there to be on the save side.
+# sh /tmp/idisk
+
+After all these steps restart the installer by typing exit in this SHELL and
+start all over by choosing "1" in the top-level menu of the installer and
+continue by choosing your installation disk again. Your installation should
+be working from now on.
+
+================
+Multboot Setups:
+================
+
+SPARC:
+======
+On SPARC systems multiboot setup is much more simple than on x86 based systems, because
+the a boot-manager is already build in. The OBP (Open Boot Prom) provides the possibility
+to boot from arbitrary disks. If you are short on disks you can even boot from one of
+the standard VTOC slices: 0-7 out of the OBP. Here are some examples and hints how to
+boot/install on SPARC systems.
+
+x86_64 EFI/UEFI/GPT:
+====================
+If you plan a multiboot installation on a UEFI type system, you have to partition
+your installation disk first. If the disk has no defined VTOC slices at all and
+you do not know the exact size of your disk, the easiest way to do this is to use:
+
+# zpool create -fB rpool /dev/dsk/<your disk>
+Note: do not specify any slice here! just the whole disk as it is shown in the
+first question of the installer.
+This should create a similar partition setup as shown above, next destroy the
+created zpool again using:
+# zpool destroy rpool
+
+As next step use the format(8) program, choosing you installation disk and create
+a new partition table by hand, if you need help use the man command for format:
+# man format
+
+This is the layout for a ACER Aspire3 labtop usig a 500GB NVME disk for
+Linux Min 22.3 and an illumos ZPOOL/ZFS installtion:
+
+Part      Tag    Flag     First Sector          Size          Last Sector
+  0     system    wm               256       256.00MB           524543     - EFI partition
+  1        usr    wm            524544       400.00GB           839385343  - illumos zpool
+  2       root    wm         839385344         8.00GB           856162559  - Linux swap
+  3       root    wm         856162560        68.68GB           1000198789 - Linux root with ext4
+  4 unassigned    wm                 0            0                0    
+  5 unassigned    wm                 0            0                0    
+  6 unassigned    wm                 0            0                0    
+  8   reserved    wm        1000198799         8.00MB           1000215182    
+
+Be sure to use the partition tag "root" in the format partitioning menu, for slices
+2 and 3 for the Linux installation, this ensures that the second install attempt
+correctly detects your Linux installation. now you'll have to create the pcfs filesystem
+on the EFI slice, otherwise the Min installer will probably bail out:
+
+# mkfs -F pcfs /dev/rdsk/<your disk>s0
+
+If you're fine with your sizes, quit the installer and install your Linux distribution,
+be sure NOT to use the first 2 slices in your Linux installer and also take care NOT
+to touch slice 8 !!!
+Afer done with the Linux installation reboot into this installer and choose the disk
+you just have partitioned for multiboot. The installer should detect your Linux
+Installation and should then add it to the illumos boot-loader.
