That's the problem. You should have attached the new drive (or
partition I guess) to copy over the OpenSolaris system.

Check the admin guide for some hints:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-2379/ggvms?l=en&a=view

The zpool should have the bootfs property set, as documented in the
zpool man page.

Grub's menu.lst needs to have the correct bootfs value, as well as the
findroot line.

The boot signature needs to be set as well, since this is what the
findroot command uses.

The admin guide is the best place to start.

An easy fix is to delete the new solaris partition and the use zfs
mirroring to copy onto the new drive.
