Use format to modify the cylinders on the disk. Then user newfs to created your UFS filesystems.

snapshots in zfs are saved as a dataset under the same zpool that the actual filesystems is on. It is just a point in time snap of the filesystem and only saves the actual changes that happened from the time the snap was taken. If you want to take a backup of you filesystem and mount it us the zfs send and zfs recieve commands. This will create a backup file of your snapshot and then you can import it back into a different zfs filesystem using the zfs recieve command. So something like below will create a filesystem, take a snap of it, then reimport it to a different filesystem.

Code:
zpool create testpool raidz c1t0d0s3 c1t1d0s3 c1t2d0s3 c1t3d0s3 
zfs create testpool/test
zfs set mountpoint=/test testpool/test
add data to /test here.......
zfs snapshot testpool/test@testsnap
zfs send testpool/test@testsnap > /tmp/test.snap
zfs receive testpool/newtest < /tmp/test.snap
zfs set mountpoint=/test1 testpool/newtest

You generally can't remove a disk from a pool, especially if you have no redundancy in place.

Is possible to create a raidz root pool and then place the os
in this pool?
With Linux i use raid5+lvm on root,with Solaris is possible
something like this?
Thanks

No, The root pool must be on either a single device pool or a mirrored one. The latter is obviously recommended. Raidz is unsupported. ZFS Troubleshooting Guide - Siwiki

Are you using ZFS ?
