Current Platform image fails to partition disks in some cases #628

Not entirely sure why this is happening, but I have observed that pxe boot'ng 20160512T071413Z on a uninstalled system, will not properly get past the disk layout section of the in /smartdc/lib/smartos_prompt_config.sh . At line 716 this script attempts to create a file in /var/tmp . This fails. On further inspection is appears that /var/tmp is not part of the live environment.

I tested the same system using prior image 20160504T205801Z , and there is no issue with the installer.

This was originally reported in https://github.com/joyent/smartos-live/issues/484

Additional testing shows something weird. If the target system was installed whit any prior version of smartos , then rebooted with destroy_zpools and then rebooted again to install . The installer works .
