on the advice of Okana in the freenode.net #opensolaris channel I tried to run the latest opensolaris livecd and try to import the pool. No luck, however I tried the trick in Lukas's post that allowed him to import the pool and I had a beginning of luck.
By doing the mdb wizardry he indicated I was able to run zpool import with the following result: pool: ztank id: whatever state: ONLINE status: The pool was last accessed by another system. see http://www.sun.com/msg/ZFS-8000-EY config: ztank ONLINE raidz1 ONLINE c4t0d0 ONLINE c4t1d0 ONLINE c4t2d0 ONLINE c4t3d0 ONLINE c4t4d0 ONLINE c4t5d0 ONLINE HOWEVER. When I attempt again to import using zdb -e ztank I still get zdb: can't open ztank: I/O error and zpool import -f, whilst it starts and seems to access the disks sequentially, it stops al the 3rd one (no sure which precisely - it spins it up and the process stops right there, and the system will not reboot when asked to (shutdown -g0 -y -i5) so there's some slight progress here. I would really appreciate ideas from you guys!
