I'm not sure it is supposed to -- your boot disc has no knowledge of
available pools or the zfs available. The better way of doing it, if I
understand right as to what you are trying to do, would be to run

zpool import

that will show you available zpools.

Then you can import the pool using

zpool import <poolName>

you can even set different mountpoints etc., the export it, and then fix
the mountpoints as to where they are supposed to be.

Hope this helps.
