Unfortunately, I had found and tried that workaround (deleting the findroot line). This didn't help any. My installation was only on one disk, so I didn't think the other fixes applied to me.
I did try installing with all my other hard drives unplugged - just in case. I installed FreeBSD onto the one hard drive to be sure the ZFS info and MBR were overwritten then installed 2009.06 again - same grub errors as before. (on a side note, where can I find the ZFS bugster? Google is failing me...) Thanks, -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
