    It looks like the boot-pool on the original SSDs just got flat out destroyed when installing the new copy on the usb stick. I used this recovery image from here: https://github.com/nchevsky/systemrescue-zfs/releases and booted the system with all disks installed. 'zdb -e boot-pool' spit out a load of unneeded stuff and a list of the most recent zpool commands run on the pool. What do you say, zpool destroy was the last command run on it at the time of the usb installation... One 'zpool import -Df boot-pool' later the pool was visible again. 'zpool export boot-pool' and a reboot later the system once again boots into the original install.
