That is correct.

You can try google translate on this (it is in french):

Part 2 I explain the swap / dump approach and part 3 the install, in
particular, at the screen:

Select the type of installation you want to perform:

         1 Solaris Interactive
         2 Custom JumpStart
         3 Solaris Interactive Text (Desktop session)
         4 Solaris Interactive Text (Console session)
         5 Apply driver updates
         6 Single user shell

select 3 or 4 or else you wont get the choice for a zfs rpool:

Select the filesystem to use for your Solaris installation


            [ ] UFS
            [X] ZFS



To mirror the rpool at install, select 2 disks and it will
automatically install in mirrored mode.

This week I'll pass the 115 days uptime on one solaris 10 u6 mirrored
rpool install (U6 hasn't been available that long, that's the reason
for "only" 115 days uptime, but at any rate it is completely rock
solid with ZFS.
