An additional information: I noticed that I was overlooking steps 6 and 7 in the instructions (http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/boot/zfsboot-manual/). I already have slice s0 in my disk dedicated to GRUB and it features a /boot of its own, so I was thinking that it wouldn't make a difference to have GRUB in one or another slice. But reading the instructions more carefully, I noticed that it says clearly that GRUB has to be installed in the ZFS slice, even if there is another UFS slice, even if they are on different disks. So I tried installgrub into c0d0s5, my ZFS root pool slice. I also mounted that pool as a filesystem and copied my /boot to it. And then something strange happens. When GRUB is loaded from c0d0s0 it works fine. Booting GRUB from c0d0s5 the menu is not displayed and only a blank screen is seen until the default option is loaded by timeout. Could I have done something wrong in the GRUB installation?
