When you say "offline", did you:

        - remove the drive physically?
        - or did you zfs detach it?
        - or both?


In order to remove half of the mirror I suggest that you:


        split the mirror (if your ZFS is recent enough; seems to be 
        supported since 131) 
                [ make sure you remove /etc/zfs/zpool.cache from the
                  split half of the mirror. ]
or
        detach 


only then remove the disk.

Depending on the hardware it may try to find the missing disk and this
may take some time.

You can boot with the debugger and/or -v to find out was is going on.
