Made some progress.
Unfortunately the zpool(8) man page doesn't mention some available
options for the 'import' command.
-T was the important one for me some days ago...
Utilizing internet search engines would have discovered -T, but I
haven't tried...

This post describes the -T (-t for zdb) option very well:

After attaching the dumps from two of the 4 drives as memory disk,
'zpool import' offers me:
   pool: cetusPsys
     id: 13207378952432032998
  state: DEGRADED
 status: The pool was last accessed by another system.
 action: The pool can be imported despite missing or damaged devices.  The
        fault tolerance of the pool may be compromised if imported.
   see: http://illumos.org/msg/ZFS-8000-EY
 config:

        cetusPsys                DEGRADED
          mirror-0               DEGRADED
            8178308212021996317  UNAVAIL  cannot open
            md3                  ONLINE
          mirror-1               DEGRADED
            md2p5                ONLINE
            4036286347185017167  UNAVAIL  cannot open

With 'zdb -lu /dev/md3' I picked a TXGid.

The following doesn't panic the kernel:
 zpool import -o readonly=on -f -R /net -F -X -n -T 3757541
13207378952432032998 cetusPalt

But:
As soon as I don't tell test-run (not specifying -n), it fails with:
cannot import 'cetusPsys': one or more devices is currently unavailable

I'm clueless again :-(
Is it impossible to import degraded pools in general, or only together
with "-X -T"?

Any tricks to convince zpool import to ignore the missing devices?
I dumped only 2 of 4 disks, the physical disks are in usage.
But people made me hope I have chances to recover data :-) Seems -T had
really offered a way to do that, but I wasn't aware of it some days ago,
so I only have these two tumps, but all data needed should be available
– I thought...

Thanks,

-harry
