	'''A)''' First make sure that '''diskutil list''' will show the disk(s) used in your pool. If not, you have a hardware and/or OsX problem to solve. Second step is running '''zpool import''' and possibly '''zpool import -d /dev''' to make ZFS inspect all disks on your system, looking for pools. The command will list any pools that it can find, and the state they are in, except for pools already imported (You can run '''zpool list''' to display the imported pools). After that, you would run '''zpool import poolname''' to import the pool, where ''poolname'' is replaced with the name of your pool. If you need further assistance, ask on the forum, irc, or, in the case of panics, create a ticket under the github repository.
