ZFS zohome - My Pool With All My Stuff - Disappeared

I don't know if this applies to the OP situation, but I've been doing this as my default. Solaris I think wanted "whole device" but almost everything else partitions were better.

Solaris used its own partition table format, handled by the Solaris format(8) command. The format is similar to but also incompatible to bsdlabel. The OBP understood the format.

I've noticed when a disk looks faulty for any reason to ZFS system, it totally ignores it, as if there was nothing there. Nor gpart show nor zfs import would show anything, but the disk is OK.
The only solution I've found is to boot from a FreeBSD install disk and go to shell or live and try zpool import. Then the disk would be marked as clean.
Then, when you boot normally, hopefully, you should be able to import the zpool again.
