Thanks for suggestions richardg, right at the very first command that imports
the rpool, there was a complain first that '/' is an illegal character but on
the second try when importing the whole rpool, the pool was reachable and I got
to the /rpool/boot/[b]grub[/b]/menu.lst and the contents seem nothing out of
the ordinary:
splashimage /boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
background 215ECA
timeout 30
default 0
#---------- ADDED BY BOOTADM - DO NOT EDIT ----------
title OpenSolaris 2009.06
findroot (pool_rpool,0,a)
bootfs rpool/ROOT/opensolaris
splashimage /boot/solaris.xpm

background 115d93

Ok, maybe the "Windows" section misses the "makeactive" declaration but it
shouldn't be important to GRUB.
My thinking now is that GRUB is ok, not broken, but is misplaced, it is likely
that by fixmbr some other partition may be marked as an MBR or the MBR is
linked to that other partition and only those OS's that write to the new
partition can boot. So it has much more to do with windoze and less with
OpenSolaris. Unless you guys here see something unusual in the above contents
of menu.lst
