Unfortunately, the root pool needs to have the full device path for the slice (i.e. the path you see in /devices if you look at the symlink in /dev) stored in it, or you will be unable to boot. Currently the only way to set the path is to boot from live media with the correct driver attached and import the pool. This is also why you have to import the pool if you change the location of the root disk. -Albert
