I think you are :-)
And you would be correct. No booting from EFI labeled disks for now,
and SMI/VTOC-labeled disks require an fdisk partition for the rpool
(though, not for other pools). One must resize the SMI label for the
rpool to recognize the new underlying disk size. Yet another reason to
get the EFI support faster. :-)
Vladimir - I would say your best option is to simply back up your data
from the OpenSolaris VM, and do a fresh re-install using the larger
Virtual Disk size. You can then upgrade to the later Dev builds
cleanly. If you are having problems with this, let us know, because
this should be rather straightforward.
You could also attach a second virtual disk of a larger size as a
mirror, resilver, and detach the original. You will still need to put
fdisk and SMI labels on that new disk.
I suggest reading the ZFS Best Practices page, the section on root
pool recovery and other manipulations in particular, for detailed
instructions.

While that's instructive, if Vladimir has no real attachment to his
current install, frankly, it's going to be a while lot faster just to
Nuke It From Orbit, and redo the install (especially for a newbie that
Vladimir has stated he is).
