ok, that fixed the license problem. The documentation doesn't say to specifically place the license file in /opt/zimbra/conf (which doesn't exist yet when starting a new installation).
It just says to point to wherever you have the file when it asks you. However, manually creating /opt/zimbra/conf and placing the license file in there, then starting the install.sh script does take care of all the license errors.
I still can't get it fully started though.
After installation, tomcat/http fail to load the admin console correctly. Running zmcontrol status shows:
Host mail1a.den.****.net
antispam Running
antivirus Running
ldap Running
logger Running
mailbox Stopped
mysql.server is not running
mta Stopped
postfix is not running
snmp Running
spell Running
running zmcontrol start outputs LOTS of messages to the console.
the last bit of which reads:
Error: assertion '-r /opt/zimbra/conf/my.cnf' failed
Error: tomcat already running
Starting antispam...Done.
Starting antivirus...Done.
Starting snmp...FAILED
Starting spell...Done.
Starting mta...Done.
The rest just looks like informational debug output. there are no actual errors there or in the /opt/zimbra/log/startup.log file.
In /var/log/messages i found these:

the filesystem /dev/mapper/mail1avg0-zimbralv is mounted rw. that is where my /opt/zimbra is, and it didn't have any problems installing the initial installation files.
again, selinux is turned off. anyone know if there are any known issues with java and LVM volumes?
