I have two disks, ad0 and ad8.
 ad0s1 and ad8s1 are a gmirror
 ad0s2 and ad8s2 are in a zpool

Other than pulling ad0 and rebooting, is there a set of steps I can take to make sure ad8 is bootable? Is an identical MBR a good enough test?
 dd if=/dev/ad8 of=ad8.mbr bs=512 count=1
 dd if=/dev/ad0 of=ad0.mbr bs=512 count=1
and here are the md5's of the MBR files
 MD5 (ad0.mbr) = f7dced6b4ab7f171cc66ae44ece16a73
 MD5 (ad8.mbr) = f7dced6b4ab7f171cc66ae44ece16a73
I want to check some production boxes to make sure they are set up correctly. I've never had a problem with using whole disks in gmirror, but I am new to using gmirror for slices.


Disk setup:

> gmirror status
        Name    Status  Components
mirror/gm0s1  COMPLETE  ad0s1
                        ad8
> zpool status
  pool: tank
 state: ONLINE
 scrub: none requested
config:

        NAME        STATE     READ WRITE CKSUM
        tank        ONLINE       0     0     0
          mirror    ONLINE       0     0     0
            ad0s2   ONLINE       0     0     0
            ad8s2   ONLINE       0     0     0
