I was installing a new disk following the instructions in postings in this 
forum and went through

zpool attach olddev newdev
installgrub stage1 stage2 newdev
zpool detach olddev

now the system cannot boot at all. I tried to install opensolaris from the CD 
on the newdev and after a successful install the system does not boot again.

i am able to start solaris from the CD and when I create a pool from olddev it 
is listed as empty.

did I lose all my data?? is there a way to recover the old rpool which is on 
the olddev?

the system stops at the grub> prompt and I tried executing the commands in the 
menu.lst which I found in the current rpool (which i am afraid is just the 
result of the new install on newdev)
it goes through them without an error, but when I do "boot" at the end it 
crashes complaining about illegal instructions.
oh, oh...
