Do you know the difference between file, file system, and block device?

You previously have a FILE SYSTEM rpool/vm2/win2008sbs/system. That
means you have some DIRECTORIES like /rpool/vm2/win2008sbs/system (the
filesystem mount point) and /dev/zvol/dsk/rpool/vm2/win2008sbs (a
placeholder for zvols under it).

xen needs either a FILE or a BLOCK DEVICE. Mike mentioned an example
to create a "virtual volume" or zvol (basically a block device) which
you can use. So if you've done something like this (note "-V")

zfs create -V 20G rpool/vm2/win2008sbs/systemdisk

you can use it in domU config file like this

disk = [ 'phy:/dev/zvol/dsk/rpool/vm2/win2008sbs/systemdisk,hda,w' ]
