X2200 in reboot loop & mounting ZFS drive on other boxes

So I was patching a Solaris 10 U08 X86 X2200 box in preparation for an Oracle upgrade. Rebooted the box because the patches failed and the box will not boot successfully. I need to back up the zones on the 2 drives before going further. I pulled the drives and attempted to mount them on my Ubuntu desktop to no avail. I tried to insert them in the X2200 box on a new Solaris install and they don't show up. Connecting the drives via USB gives me no results because I can't seem to get them mounted .

Thoughts on how I can get these drives mounted before repairing the OS? I have the X2200 and plenty of SPARC boxes to play with. However, the SPARC boxes are not SATA capable and mounting the drives via USB is not working.

I ended up installing zfs-fuse and attaching the SATA drive to my Ubuntu box and running zfs import to get the list of what's available, importing it using zfs import pool_name -F, and am now copying it over.

What's everybody think about upgrading the corrupt Solaris 10 U08 to U09 to fix it once the backups are done?

mount_chfs

MOUNT_CHFS(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					     MOUNT_CHFS(8)

NAME

     mount_chfs -- mount a CHFS flash file system

SYNOPSIS

     mount_chfs

DESCRIPTION

     Mounts a flash file system from a flash(4) device.  CHFS file systems can be only mounted from flash devices.  For regular block devices like
     SSD drives or USB drives, please use a regular file system.  The file system will be created during the first mount.  CHFS stands for Chip
     File System.

EXAMPLES

	   mount_chfs /dev/flash0 /mnt

SEE ALSO

     flash(4), fstab(5), mount(8), flash(9)

HISTORY

     CHFS was originally called ChewieFS during development.  The name was changed to avoid legal issues and to have a more neutral name.

AUTHORS

     CHFS was developed at the Department of Software Engineering, University of Szeged, Hungary.

BUGS

     CHFS has a few known bugs as of 2011.  Writing the FS full can cause problems.  Truncating a file and growing it again can cause the new
     bytes not having all zeroes, but filled with the old content instead.
