I think is doing this because the / filesystem is
built on top of a metadevice (that is a mirror)
consisting of a single submirror (i.e. built on a
single slice). 
So you can try one of:

- try to have / on a correctly setup two way mirror
and then LU (I did this on SPARC without problems, on
Solaris 10)

- don't use mirror for / if is built on only one
slice.


maybe this helps,
Adrian
