Hi Mauricio,
You can follow the steps in the root pool recovery section to help
you see all the steps you need to create a bootable root pool, here:

Thanks! I will give it a try later on.
The problem I see is that your bootpool is 9.78 GB and your current
rpool contents are 7.53 GB so your disk space in bootpool will be
extremely tight.
Well, I am building this machine to run zones that *should* (big word
here) be as self-sufficient (whole root zone) as they can be. So, all it
has to have in the bootpool is enough to boot and start the zones. Stuff
like gnone and X-windows (just to name a few) need not to be in
bootpool. Right now they are there because by mistake I told it to
install everything + kitchen sink. Now I need to do some uninstalling
and fat trimming. I hope I can get it down to half its current size.

Let's say I have two pools (each in its own HD), bootpool and rpool,
-bash-3.00# zfs list
NAME USED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT
bootpool 72K 9.78G 21K /bootpool
rpool 7.53G 59.4G 97K /rpool
rpool/ROOT 4.53G 59.4G 21K legacy
rpool/ROOT/s10s_u8wos_08a 4.53G 59.4G 4.46G /
rpool/ROOT/s10s_u8wos_08a/var 68.8M 59.4G 68.8M /var
rpool/dump 1.00G 59.4G 1.00G -
rpool/swap 2G 61.4G 16K -
And I want to move all the contents in rpool to bootpool. What is the
best way to to do? Snapshots and then zfs send/receive? If how, how
would I then make the machine boot from the drive with the bootpool
partition? I imagine I can go to openboot and then select there. But,
if I am extremely lazy and just sawp the drives around, would that
work?
