Hi Francois,
A similar recovery process in OS11 is to just mount the BE,
like this:
# beadm mount s11_175 /mnt
# ls /mnt/var
adm cron inet logadm preserve tmp
ai db info mail run tpm
apache2 dhcp installadm nfs sadm user
audit dt krb5 ntp samba xauth
cache fm ld ocm smb yp
coherence fps ldap openldap spool
cores games lib opt statmon
crash idmap log pkg svc
# beadm umount /mnt
It took me awhile to figure out the revised recovery steps without
failsafe mode, but its something like this:
1. Boot single-user mode for some minor recovery, like bad root
shell
2. Boot from media and import the root pool to fix boot-related
issues
3. Boot from media and mount the BE to fix root password
Thanks,
Cindy

In the end what I needed to do was to set the mountpoint with:
zfs set mountpoint=/tmp/rescue rpool/ROOT/openindiana
it ended up mounting it in /mnt/rpool/tmp/rescue but still, it gave me
the access to var/ld/... and after removing the ld.config, doing a
zpool export and reboot, my desktop is back.
Thanks for the pointers. "man zfs" did mention mountpoint as a valid
option, not sure why it didnt work. as for mount -F zfs... it only
works on legacy.

test this on solaris11 too when I get a chance.
The problem is that if I
zfs mount -o mountpoint=/tmp/rescue (or whatever) rpool/ROOT/openindiana
i get a cannot mount /mnt/rpool: directory is not empty.
The reason for that is that I had to do a zpool import -R /mnt/rpool
rpool (or wherever I mount it it doesnt matter) before I could do a
zfs mount, else I dont have access to the rpool zpool for zfs to do
its thing.
chicken / egg situation? I miss the old fail safe boot menu...
You can mount it pretty much anywhere:
mkdir /tmp/foo
zfs mount -o mountpoint=/tmp/foo ...
I'm not sure when the temporary mountpoint option (-o mountpoint=...)
came in. If it's not valid syntax then:
mount -F zfs rpool/ROOT/solaris /tmp/foo
