It's not that hard to do.. But it is not well documented.

unfortunately, a zfs root makes this a bit harder
to do...
Without a zfs root, you had to update bootpath in
bootenv.rc, update vfstab, and update /etc/hostname.* and/or
/etc/dhcp.*
With a zfs root, you need to attach the disk to another
PV guest (non zfs root) using the device it will use when
you start the disk (i.e. xvda). Then import the rpool,
update /etc/hostname.* and/or /etc/dhcp.*. The disk
should be ready to boot as a PV guest at this point.
zfs encodes the bootpath in the zpool meta data. When
you import a pool, it updates the meta data.

no, nothing available today.. It is being worked on...
