SUMMARY: recovering zpools from disks from a different installation

Hi all,

In the end I received only two answers, both of which contained suggestions 
that I had already tried.  

In the end, I gave up trying to recover the "lost" storage pool.  There seems 
to be no possibility to recover a zpool from another system when that system 
fell over.  

Thanks
Markus
