Here's my take without looking anything up.  While the drive is physically
hot-pluggable, the software stack doesn't support what you did.  I *think*
the correct sequence of events would probably be:

1. Detach the mirrored drive (c3d0) from the ZFS pool.
2. Use 'cfgadm' to 'unplug' the drive
3. Remove it

I'll look into this; It'd be excellent to have some sort of
workaround. Other than the loss of cool demo value (and I'm not using
this system to sell ZFS or anything, demo value is purely recreational
here) and the slight possibility of forgetting and pulling a drive
without typing the right commands first, having to type a few commands
isn't a problem.

However, it sounds like your drive is SATA running in legacy ATA
mode with the ata driver, and I do not off-hand know if the driver
and/or cfgadm support 'unplugging' it.

Any idea how I could approach finding drivers to let me run in a more
real SATA mode?  Is it worth trying Express or CE just to see?
