No, you don't. A dilemma is a situation where one is forced to choose
between two equally uncomfortable options. You have a problem, a
difficulty, a snag, a conundrum, a predicament, a complication,
possibly a quandary, but not a dilemma.

The aim is to disconnect the ATA ad0 thus rendering the SATA ad2 to
ad0, something like this:

ATA channel 0:
Master: ad0 <WDC WD3200KS-00PFB0/21.00M21> Serial ATA II
Slave: ad1 <ST3320620AS/3.AAJ> Serial ATA II
ATA channel 1:
Master: ad2 <ST3320620AS/3.AAK> Serial ATA II
Slave: no device present
ATA channel 2:
Master: ad4 <ST3320620AS/3.AAK> Serial ATA II
Slave: no device present

The problem is that the info in zpool.cache is diferent from the new
disk order and zfs doesn't pick the volume thus no root fs.
I jumped on my "let's go for anything" suit and even tried to edit
zpool.cache by hand with the new disk order, sadly with no luck.

Run "zpool export" before moving the disks, then "zpool import" after
rebooting.
