Hi,
What is the ZFS pool on the USB stick called ? Do you have 2 pools
called rpool ?
Also you removed splashimage from the menu on the USB stick not from the
menu on the hard disk ?
why do you zpool export ?
Also, the GRUB hang when booting from the hard-disk you are seeing is
not due to a missing menu. A missing menu gives you the GRUB command line >

Vikram,
I'll try to give a complete picture. I apologize this will be a long note.
This is when I boot up from USB stick. 3 disks are recognized ( 1 stick and two
HDDs):

j...@opensolaris:~$ zpool status
pool: rpool
state: ONLINE
status: The pool is formatted using an older on-disk format. The pool can
still be used, but some features are unavailable.
action: Upgrade the pool using 'zpool upgrade'. Once this is done, the
pool will no longer be accessible on older software versions.

Just in case, I upgraded the zpool version:
j...@opensolaris:~$ pfexec zpool upgrade rpool
This system is currently running ZFS pool version 18.
Successfully upgraded 'rpool' from version 14 to version 18
Installed grub again:
j...@opensolaris:/boot/grub$ pfexec installgrub -m stage1 stage2
/dev/rdsk/c8t2d0s0
Updating master boot sector destroys existing boot managers (if any).
continue (y/n)?y
stage1 written to partition 0 sector 0 (abs 16065)
stage2 written to partition 0, 273 sectors starting at 50 (abs 16115)
stage1 written to master boot sector
Doublechecked the zpool status, it is OK:
j...@opensolaris:/boot/grub$ zpool status
pool: rpool
state: ONLINE
scrub: none requested
config:
NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM
rpool ONLINE 0 0 0
c8t2d0s0 ONLINE 0 0 0

Then I got rid of splash from menu.lst:
j...@opensolaris:/boot/grub$ cat /rpool/boot/grub/menu.lst

Export and reboot
j...@opensolaris:~$ pfexec zpool export rpool
j...@opensolaris:~$ pfexec reboot
reboot: Failed to process GRUB menu entry for fast reboot.
No such entry found
reboot: Falling back to regular reboot.
Connection to 192.168.10.3 closed.
The next time the system reboots, it boots into USB stick grub menu
(OpenSolaris installation USB stick). I typed 'c' to go to command line, used
findroot to find rpool, which is (hd1,0,a). I used find /boot/grub/menu.lst,
and it hangs. (see grub-find-hang.GIF)
Then in BIOS I change the boot devide to the 2nd HDD, which has rpool on it.
(see BIOS-change.GIF)
When it boots back, it hangs at GRUB prompt. (see grub-hang.GIF)
Does this give you more info to analyze?
Thx,
Sean
