As Tomas said, export the pool before shutdown.
If you have a pool which causes unexpected trouble at boot
time and you have no oppportunity to export it, you can:
- boot from a live CD or do a failsafe boot, 
- zpool import -R the root pool in e.g. /a, 
- move /a/etc/zfs/zpool.cache out of the way
- init 6 for a normal boot 

This way only the root pool will be imported.
You can import any other pools afterwards.
