For posterity, I found the solution here:

http://www.mail-archive.com/opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org/msg35493.html

To summarize:
- boot into failsafe mode from Grub
- get the updated disk device name using format
- edit /a/boot/solaris/bootenv.rc and update the root device name
- run 'bootadm update-archive -R /a"
- reboot

Good times, good times.
