I finally got around to fixing it. I was editing the wrong menu.lst.
Thanks alot guys. ZFS and ZFS Boot rock.
I can't believe how easy and how superior to other filesystems zfs is.
OpenSolaris is truly a 21st century unix.
I hope I never have to touch linux again from outside of a branded zone.
which menu.lst did you change?
you need to change /rpool/boot/grub/menu.lst

I did all you recommended, however after I edited menu.lst, the grub boot menu
did not change for some reason...
It still has only 2 entries: the default opensolaris and the safemode
opensolaris entry.

Wait, how do you unset 'bootfs' on the root pool?

You are best not touching vfstab at all on OpenSolaris - just set the
filesystem properties directly, e.g.:
zfs set mountpoint=/mnt/buildarea rpool/build
okay. I just made buildarea bootable via "zfs set bootfs=rpool/buildarea rpool".
Prior to that I made a mount point and edited vfstab.
Everything boots fine now. However I would like to be able to select from
"buildarea" and the default rootfs in the grub menu.
Is this possible?
Thanks.

Where can I find info about creating and using a zfs-formatted USB hard drive
that can be shared with more than one machine?

Slices on Solaris are not the same as partitions on Linux. Slices are
sub-divisions of a partition. Solaris on x86 / x64 can normally only use a
single partition per disk. Within this partition there are several slices. The
reason for this is that Solaris began on SPARC, where there were more th
Question:
I edited a slice from the format utility. I decreases the size of slice 0 to
150 gb, and increased the size of slice 7 to 60 gb. I left the tag of slice 7
unassigned.
Now I try to add a new zpool named vault to /dev/dsk/c4d0s7 (zpool create -f
vault c4d0s7)
And I get the following:

Are slices the solaris equivalent of partitions on linux.
