This is not possible, unless there is a bug. You cannot create a pool
with only a cache device. I have verified this on b131:
# zpool create norealpool cache /dev/ramdisk/rc1
invalid vdev specification: at least one toplevel vdev must be specified
This is also consistent with the notion that cache devices are auxiliary
devices and do not have pool configuration information in the label.
