Ah, I understand now.
A couple of things worth noting:
- if the root filesystem in a boot pool cannot be mounted, it's
problematic to access the tools necessary to repair it. So going to a
livecd (or a network boot for that matter) is the best way forward.
- if the tools available to failsafe are insufficient to repair a pool,
then booting off a livecd/network is the only way forward.
It is also worth pointing out here that the 134a build has the pool
recovery code built-in. The "-F" option to zpool import only became
available after build 128 or 129.
