As the documentation is a bit sketchy, here’s a quick cheat sheet for setting this up with gmirror:
(This crib sheet assumes you have a pair of identical IDE (in my case, SATA) drives identified as ad4 and ad6.)
Let me apologize for Thunderbird formatting my mail goofy. (I only use it for mailing lists, silly vim weenie.) Here's a little clean-up:
1. Install FreeBSD on to ad4.
2. Reboot with the Install CD.
3. Enter Fixit mode, using Install CD disc2 as the “live filesystem”
4. # chroot /dist
# mount_devfs devfs /dev
# gmirror label -v -b round-robin gm0 /dev/ad4
# gmirror insert gm0 /dev/ad6
# mount /dev/mirror/gm0s1a /mnt
# echo ‘geom_mirror_load="YES"‘ >> /mnt/boot/loader.conf
# echo ’swapoff="YES"‘ >> /mnt/etc/rc.conf
5. Edit /mnt/etc/fstab to convert ad4 -> mirror/gm0
6. Reboot
