Broken system disk - mount a zfs backup fs

I have installed Solaris 11 Express on my machine. I have made a script which would take snapshots of all the rpool filesystems every day and send them to a (local) hard drive. There is a zpool on that drive called backup.

Now in case of a system failure, I will act according to a manual on the ZFS troubleshooting page.

There is one step however which I am not sure how to complete - how to mount the local backup zpool from a solaris live CD (they use a remote one in the manual). I need it in order to retrieve the backuped snapshots.

Thank you for help,
Dusan
