Hopefully some facts will make it clear:
1. ZFS import looks in the zpool.cache file before looking in /dev/dsk
2. To search in a directory other than /dev/dsk, use the -d option
3. ZFS import will look for devices named c*t*d*s*
4. ZFS import will never look for devices named c*t*d*p*
5. Every file in /dev is a symlink, managed by devfsadm(1m)
