After updating the boot environment switched to "opensolaris-4" in the GRUB menu. Starting this configuration yields in a sudden restart right after the first bits were initialized.
I switched back to "opensolaris-1", the last working environment. After issuing "zfs list" I saw that there is a vast list of zfs pools. And /opt has three mountpoints.

So it would be nice if someone could tell me which "rpool/*" entries could be deleted and how to update the GRUB entries. Roman.
