Re: [zfs-discuss] Creating zfs filesystem on a partition with ufs - Newbie
Still ... I don't think a core file is appropriate. Sounds like a bug is
in order if one doesn't already exist. ("zpool dumps core when missing
devices are used" perhaps?)

Ian,
The first error is correct in that zpool-create will not, unless
forced, create a file system if it knows that another filesystem
presides in the target vdev.
The second error was caused by your removal of the slice.
What I find discerning is that the zpool created.
Can you provide the result of "zpool status" and list of the disk
partition table? If it's indeed carved from c1d0s6, can you destroy
the pool and see if the same creation sequence indeed creates the
zpool?
