Thanks, that did the trick!

For the archives, my format command output was:
  	4. c4d0 <ST3000DM-         Z1F0NW1-0001-2.73TB>
          /pci at 0,0/pci-ide at 14,1/ide at 0/cmdk at 0,0
       5. c4d1 <ST3000DM-         Z1F0LA0-0001-2.73TB>
          /pci at 0,0/pci-ide at 14,1/ide at 0/cmdk at 1,0
       6. c5t0d0 <ST3000DM-001-9YN166-CC4H-2.73TB>
          /pci at 0,0/pci103c,1609 at 12,2/storage at 1/disk at 0,0

Adding this to /kernel/drv/sd.conf:
sd-config-list = "ST3000DM","physical-block-size:4096";

and doing a full reboot (thanks to Jim for the -p hint)

Then zpool created a zpool with ashift=12

Confusingly it reported Vendor "Gen-ATA" in /var/adm/messages:
[ID 243001 kern.info] Disk1:        <Vendor 'Gen-ATA ' Product 'ST3000DM001-9YN1'>
but using "Gen-ATA" in sd.conf did not work.

That confirmed that the ST3000DM001 is lying about it's physical block size (0x200 -> 512 bytes).

Thanks again!
