Reboot to the grub menu Move to the failsafe kernel entry tap "e" to edit entry. go to the kernel entry and tap "e" again Append -kv to the end of the line Accept and tap "b" to boot the line.
After some output you will be prompted to mount the root pool on /a - Enter y to accept. You will then get a shell prompt. Reboot and all should be fine. I actually need to ask a question: Did the person who imported the pool under Linux use the old (circa Feb 2008) zfs-fuse, or the new one (Sept 2008)? If the later, then it is possible that they also did a zpool upgrade and now your Solaris no longer understands the ZFS on-disk format. If this is the case, upgrade solaris (Boot from new media, go to the text-more installer, and select "upgrade" when prompted for the install type). This will update Solaris to understand the ZFS version. I think the older zfs-fuse used to support ZFS version 8 or 9, the new one supports version 12 or 13.
