recovering zpools from disks from a different installation

Hello all,

I have a problem for which I don't find a solution.

I have a test system which was running Solaris 10 and had two zpools. The
system disk died a horrible death earlier today (no raid :-( and of course no
backup because it's only a test system), and has left me with three disks
that had a total of two zpools configured on them. I know the data is there,
however after freshly installing a new system on a new disk, I am unable to
recover the lost storage pools. zpool status shows no pools available, zpool
import with the device, zpool import zpoolname, all fail all believing there
are no pools to be found.

Does anyone know a way to recover the pools from the disks? I will be most
grateful for any help anyone can give me.

regards
Markus
PS: Normally we do have backups, however for test systems, we have to wait for
an expansion on our backup system, which should be ready in about three to
four weeks, which is very useful to me now :-/
