It looks like the grub install to the MBR failed. This is how I recovered from that: Boot live CD and become root. zpool import zpool import -f rpool mkdir /a zfs list # what is name of root zfs mount -F zfs rpool/ROOT/opensolaris /a zfs set mountpoint=/a/rpool rpool cd /a/boot/grub zpool status -v #tells you which device for next step installgrub stage1 stage2 /dev/rdsk/c3d0s0 # install grub to Solaris partition installgrub -m stage1 stage2 /dev/rdsk/c3d0s0 # install grub to MBR -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
