[indiana-discuss] can't reboot after an image-update (spa_import_rootpool: error 22)

I did a "pkg image-update", a new boot environment is created  
(opensolaris-2) but when I reboot, I get an error message saying  
something like:

spa_import_rootpool: error 22
Cannot mount root path on /ramdisk:a

followed by a dump
or something like that. The message only stays visible a couple of  
seconds, then is cleared and back to grub.

Only way out is to boot on the previous boot environment (very nice  
feature !).
Is this error known, what does error 22 mean ?
Is there a way to have the boot error message stay on the screen so  
that I get a chance to copy it accurately ?

PS the machine is an Ultra 24, the may Indiana release was (and still  
is) running fine, as well as the preview before that.
