So grub does find your pool and boots up the kernel+miniroot (module) and passes the device path string from the chosen hdd to the kernel, but the solaris/illumos kernel can not validate this string and find a device by it, because the controller is different. Unlike other pools, the rpool does not seek by name, guid, etc.

That process has always worked for me.
