I didn't try opensolaris because the last release was a long time ago,
before Solaris 10 update 8. I don't know if they have something else newer.

I tried Solaris Express 11, Milax, and OpenIndiana and nothing will come up
normally on this box. The errors I get are all documented with no solution.

My thoughts exactly, but so far no go.

I tried several combinations of moving the drives around. The pools are
both always recognized and always show online with no errors no matter how
they are connected. I can see the device addresses changing but the bad
pool will not import without panicking the kernel while the root pool
always imports fine.

I guess I will look into trying live upgrade. Thanks.
