Put your old drive in a USB enclosure and connect it to another system
in order to read back the data.
I'm curious - would it work to boot from a live CD, go to shell, and
deport/import/rename the old rpool, then boot normally?
I have only 4 sata ports on this Intel box so I have to keep pulling
cables
to be able to boot from a DVD and then I won't have all my drives
available. I cannot move these drives to any other box because they are
consumer drives and my servers all have ultras.
Most modern boards will be boot from a live USB stick.
