I believe 'zpool import' by itself will just list any pools which ZFS finds by searching disks in /dev. You will need to 'zpool import <poolname>' afterwards to actually import the storage pool. As you've said that it's a clean install, it may warn you that the pool is associated with another system (I saw this when migrating from 9-Current back to 8.0). You can simply pass -f to zpool import to safely force the operation.
