I think you want:

zpool attach rpool c3d0s0 c4d0s0

That will create a mirror;  ("add" would make it a RAID-1 stripe, which is
not what you want).

The reason it is complaining is that by specifying "c4d0", you are
telling ZFS that you want to use the whole disk, which implies relabeling
it as EFI.  You need to specify a slice, as I have above.
