This is just an easy way to make sure bootadm will write new archive files.
You could also use
rm /platform/i86pc/amd64/boot_archive \
/platform/i86pc/boot_archive
I am not absolutely sure if or why it is necessary to recreate the archive, but
this has solved boot problems for me.
I suspect that when the ZFS on disk format is changed, the updated grub zfs
code
expects all files to be written in that format. There are other issues related
to the fact that the GRUB zfs implementation is lightweight, for instance it
cannot read a boot archive which is created with compression=gzip enabled on
the
filesystem (or at least it could not a couple of months ago, have not
re-checked
recently).
