I guess it paniced while trying to mount the root
filesystem, because the original device used to
access the root filesystem does not exist in the
new machine...

The work around is to attach the drive to the new
machine, boot the new machine from the livecd,
open a gnome terminal window, and run
pfexec zpool import -f rpool

After the zpool import, the disk should be bootable
in the new system.
