I have a similar situation and would love some concise suggestions:
Had a working version of 2008.05 running svn_93 with the updated grub. I did a
pkg-update to svn_95 and ran the zfs update when it was suggested. System ran
fine until I did a a reboot, then no boot, only grub command line

The 2008.11 development snapshot CD I found is based on snv_93 and doesn't yet
suport ZFS v.11 so it refuses to import the pool. My system doesn't have a DVD
drive, so I cannot boot the SXCE snv_94 DVD. I guess I have to
so finally, I gathered up some courage and
installgrub /boot/grub/stage1 /boot/grub/stage2
/dev/rdsk/c2d0s0 seemed to write out what I assume
is a new MBR.
Not the MBR - the stage1 and 2 files are written to the boot area of the
Solaris FDISK partition.
tried to also installgrub on the
Luca Morettoni reported a similar behavior (i.e. a perfectly running
system that drops into grub on reboot) on indiana-discuss. I wonder if
the issue is that installgrub is updating the MBR on one disk. If the
second disk does not have an updated grub menu, that would explain what
you are
You can try to boot from Opensolaris CD, import rpool, mount the root
filesystem and upgrade the grub.

Did you do the extra required grub step between the 'pkg image-update' and
rebooting? If I recall correctly, it needs to happen once between snv_86 (which
