Ugh.  This is OpenSolaris (Indiana), and there *is* no failsafe
as far as I can tell.  There is one grub entry for Solaris:
#---------- ADDED BY BOOTADM - DO NOT EDIT ----------
title OpenSolaris 2008.05 snv_86_rc2a X86
bootfs rpool/ROOT/opensolaris
kernel$ /platform/i86pc/kernel/$ISADIR/unix -B $ZFS-BOOTFS
module$ /platform/i86pc/$ISADIR/boot_archive
#---------------------END BOOTADM--------------------


I'm sitting in grub now, trying to figure out what to do.

Simple, the equiv of failsafe for OpenSolaris is to boot the live-cd,
then manually mount your disk drive.
Sort of like using Knoppix to repair a linux install,
or WinPE to repair the mistake of installing windows...

>From an S10u5 box I have, it looks like there should
be a file /boot/x86.miniroot-safe, but that file does
not exist on the OpenSolaris box.

Did the person who imported the pool under Linux use the old (circa Feb
2008) zfs-fuse, or the new one (Sept 2008)?

I think I'm safe on this front.  zpool upgrade says its running version
10, which is what the identical (working) machine also says.

I think I'm just going to give up and re-install..  Sigh.
