Sean,
If you review the doc section you included previously, you will see
that all the root pool examples include slice 0.
The slice is a long-standing boot requirement and is described in
the boot chapter, in this section:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-5461/ggrko?l=en&a=view
ZFS Storage Pool Configuration Requirements
The pool must exist either on a disk slice or on disk slices that are
mirrored.
Thanks,
Cindy

It seems a root pool must only be created on a slice. Therefore
zpool create -f -o failmode=continue -R /a -m legacy -o
cachefile=/etc/zfs/zpool.cache rpool c1t0d0s0
will work. I've been reading through some of the ZFS root installation stuff
and can't find a note that explicitly states this although a bit of bing'ing
and I found a thread that confirmed this.
