Mounting ZFS is different from other mounting FS-es. Run zpool import without arguments. It will print existing pool names. for OpenSolaris 2008.05 it will be "rpool". Now run zpool import -R /mnt -f rpool The pool on harddisk will be imported temporarily rooted at /mnt. Now run zfs list to view all the datasets in the pool. The root dataset rpool/ROOT/opensolaris will not be mounted since it is a "legacy" mount. You will have to mount that explicitly: mkdir /hdroot mount -F zfs rpool/ROOT/opensolaris /hdroot If all goes well you can run: /mnt/boot/solaris/bin/update_grub -R /mnt and then reboot back into harddisk. Otherwise you can try running zpool scrub rpool. The scrub command is vaguely similar to fsck. Execute zpool status periodically to see whether errors were found.
