After you log on as the use x (let's call this user "arthur"), see if
you can run "pfexec su -" and if you get a # in the command prompt. If
you do, then you can still rescue your data.

Alternatively, boot from the Belenix live CD, run zpool import -f and
see if the pool gets imported.

Snapshots are an awesome feature indeed.

In case you are interested, try booting from Belenix and see if it
detects your sound device. You can take this discussion to
belenix-discuss, since zfs-discuss is for the zfs filesystem.

I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss opensolaris as a monster, much less
ZFS :) There's sometimes a learning curve (no matter low close to zero
it may be).

All you need to do, is to calmly read the instructions give earlier on
this thread, and also try to use shorter sentences and a fullstop.
