Hi Doug, from the information I read so far, I assume you have
c0d0s0 - ufs root
c0d0s5 - zfs root pool 'snv' and root filesystem 'b65'
installgrub on c0d0s0 puts grub on the same disk as c0d0s5, but <c0d0sn>
indicates which slice is the default boot slice.
So, once you default boot from c0d0s5, you should not need
'root (hd0,0,f)' in your menu.lst entry which could confuse the mapping.
(I'll try to make the doc a little bit more clear.)
That said, your original menu.lst does look fine (assuming you did copy
the new grub into c0d0s0).
Play around a little bit more and send us more detail information.
e.g. menu.lst entries from the rootpool or ufs root, where is grub
installed,
have you copied the devices dir to the zfs root filesystem (step 4), is
snv/b65 good...etc.

An additional information:
I noticed that I was overlooking steps 6 and 7 in the instructions
(http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/boot/zfsboot-manual/). I already
have slice s0 in my disk dedicated to GRUB and it features a /boot of its own,
so I was thinking that it wouldn't make a difference to have GRUB in one or
another slice. But reading the instructions more carefully, I noticed that it
says clearly that GRUB has to be installed in the ZFS slice, even if there is
another UFS slice, even if they are on different disks.
So I tried installgrub into c0d0s5, my ZFS root pool slice. I also mounted that
pool as a filesystem and copied my /boot to it. And then something strange
happens. When GRUB is loaded from c0d0s0 it works fine. Booting GRUB from
c0d0s5 the menu is not displayed and only a blank screen is seen until the
default option is loaded by timeout.
Could I have done something wrong in the GRUB installation?
