Not sure if this will avoid the "zio_read_data failed",
but try the find command without the zpool name;
find /boot/grub/menu.lst

In a virtualbox guest / grub command line mode I see this:

grub> root (hd0,0,a)
 Filesystem type is zfs ...

grub> find /rpool/boot/grub/menu.lst
Error 15: File not found

grub> find /boot/grub/menu.lst
(hd0,0,a)
