Hi James,
No answers from me, just some information.
The ability to boot from a disk greater than 1 TB integrated last fall
and this support is in the OpenSolaris 2009.06 release.
I see the same zio_read_data error (boot from install okay, but not
from the disk) in this CR:
6843138 can not boot off of a 2.2TB and zfs root
The root cause seems to be that the that BIOS is not reporting correct
capacity.
This CR is fixed in Nevada, build 117. If someone can get you the stage2
binary from build 117, then we would know for sure that is bug is your
issue.

With rpool imported/mounted can you cat the contents of the GRUB

e.g.: % cat /rpool/boot/grub/menu.lst
This question should probably be posted to [email protected]

Yes, I can cat the file just fine once booted into the livecd:
# zpool import rpool
# cat /rpool/boot/grub/menu.lst
splashimage /boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
background 215ECA
timeout 30
default 0

foreground d25f00

kernel$ /platform/i86pc/kernel/$ISADIR/unix -B $ZFS-BOOTFS,console=graphics

Unfortunately, GRUB never gets to a point where it can.
