Bingo! And that is the reason why I had written:

"(Im not sure right now, if you now get a complaint, that no /boot is
there / then you need to mount the right zfs by first changing the
mountpoint with zfs set mountpoint=/xyz.)"


And at least at this point Sun or Alex should accept, that using the
LiveCD for this is WAY not as straigthforward, as they claim.
Only experienced users can manage such a situation. And the web-help
is of little use to thos, who would actually need it in that
situation. Furthermore I rather doubt, the official docs deal with
this specific situation in a way sufficiently practice oriented and
detailed, to handle the cannot mount, directory not empty problem.
Because I doubt many will know that they need to mount some zfs's of
the pool manually, and that they can only do so, after *temporarily*
having altered the zfs mountpoint.


But all this is mandatory to successfully fix the situation.
Except for Caspar's workarount of clearing the boot_archive-check SMF
service during hdd-booted Single-user.
