Thanks for all of your input. I intalled 2008.11 build 98 as an HVM guest
under Xen:
If you make a block-level copy of the boot pool and attach it as a disk on the

Is that physical device path correct for your new system?
Or is this the physical device path (stored on-disk in the zpool label)

approximately 97.
There are still issues with renaming of bootable root
I am running OpenSolaris 2008.05 as a PV guest under Xen. If you import the
bootable root pool of a VM into another Solaris VM, the root pool is no longer
bootable.
It is related to the device associated to the pool, which is originally c4d0s0,
but on import (-f) becomes c0d2s0 in this case.
