While it should be possible (see another reply with a disktab entry)
it isn't supported.  That could mean that it has been tested at by
the engineering group and may well not have been qualified in that
box by the hardware group.  Simply put, you use it at your own risk.
I don't know if there any plans to ever support it, though minimal knowledge
of it exists since it has an entry in /sys/data/mscp_data.c.
