I am no expert at this however a quick Google search comes up with:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/geom-mirror.html
The procedure shown there produces a mirror that will not boot on FreeBSD 9.
no idea but my procedure certainly would work if you use installer
1) install to first disk
2) gmirror label system /dev/seconddisk
3) bsdlabel -w /dev/mirror/system
4) bsdlabel -e /dev/mirror/system - make partitions as required.
5) bsdlabel -B /dev/mirror/system
6) newfs all created partitions (/dev/mirror/systema etc...)
7) add
vfs.root.mountfrom="ufs:mirror/systema"
to loader.conf
edit /etc/fstab and change all things to new places
8) mount and copy files using tar or dump/restore to new place
9) reboot. system will start from gmirror
10) gmirror insert system /dev/firstdisk
all done.
if installer is not used but bootable media with complete system, just
create gmirror then as usual.
