Here's the second cut. Format for the cli options is

--disk path=/some/path[,device=cdrom|floppy][,permissions=ro|sh]
--disk pool=poolname[,device=cdrom|floppy][,permissions=ro|sh]
--disk vol=poolname/volname[,device=cdrom|floppy][,permissions=ro|sh]

Hopefully this will simplify things and fix the issues encountered.

Once this is committed I'll be writing up the man pages and
creating a wiki page detailing how this can all fit together
for remote installs.

Thanks,
Cole
