zfs folks, I sent the following to indiana-disc...@opensolaris.org, but perhaps someone here can get to the bottom of this. Why must zfs trash my system so often with this hostid nonsense? How do I recover from this situation? (I have no OpenSolaris boot CD with me at the moment, so zpool import while booted off of the CD isn't an option)

While this seemed to work for an update from 99 to 100, I'm having this same problem again, and this time, it's not resolvable with subsequent reboots. The issue is that I had a 2008.11 BE, and created another BE for testing. I rebooted over to this "test" BE and bfu'ed it with test archives. I can boot this "test" BE just fine, and I'm now done my testing. I now can't boot _any_ of my other BE's that were created prior to the "test" BE, including 2008.11. They all panic as I initially described: <garbage address> mutex_owner_running() lookuppnat() vn_removeat() vn_remove() zfs'spa_config_write() zfs'spa_config_sync() zfs'spa_open_common() zfs'spa_open() zfs'dsl_dlobj_to_dsname() zfs'zfs_parse_bootfs() zfs'zfs_mountroot() rootconf() vfs_mountroot() main() _locore_start() Is there another way to get my 2008.11 BE back? Is there a bug filed for this issue, either with ZFS boot, with bfu, or whatever it is that decides to trash my system? The issue was originally described as a "hostid" issue. Is panicing the best way to handle whatever problem this is?
