The easiest way to make any changes to the root volume group is with Ignite's make_recovery
1) make_recovery -A
2) boot from recovery tape
3) interupt boot sequence & change volume group parameters
4) Let ignite finish & reboot.

Use ignite

Can be obtained from the Apps CD without a codeword or from the following URL:

When you are talking the root disk, certain filesystems can be extended but the root filesystem needs to be contigious and it makes it tough to extend. Short of reinstalling, this would be the best solution.
