Of course that can't be the whole story. Grub still needs to read the boot archive somehow. The Solaris 10 box I have access to doesn't seem to have a /boot/grub/zfs_stage1_5, but I do get a whopping three hit on Google for "zfs_stage1_5".

GRUB ZFS stage1.5 source code

It's pretty difficult to find, you have to go to cvs.opensolaris.org and search for 'zfs', and scroll down a bit. Really obscure..

;)

Indeed. I believe they use Sun GPLv2 ZFS code to do so.
