1. Check that pools have up-to-date boot code.

2. Try to convince bios to boot from the disk of pool2.

3. You can possibly try deploying /boot/boot0 MBR selector code over 
disks of data pool. Supplied boot0 code can be used to choose another 
disk to jump to it during boot process and will remember the last choice.
