Root command comes back with:

I looked at these two links.  I tried the "zpool import -f rpool" workaround 
but that didn't help.  I didn't understand the instructions for the other 
suggested workaround, so I did not attempt it.

I mounted the hard disk.   /boot/grub appears to contain all the right stuff 
(stage1, stage2, etc.)

Is there some command that I can give at the grub prompt to make things right?

I see that others have had this problem.  Maybe I'll just wait a month or two 
for this to get fixed and try a new iso image.
