Danny,
Thanks for the link. This was actually the first link we tried to get
working and after it failed to work we followed the link on the page
to http://people.freebsd.org/~rse/mirror/.
Everything worked fine until we arrived at this step below.
# mount /dev/mirror/gm0s1a /mnt
It seems that gmirror does not give us any partitions. A listing of
the mirror directory shows only the gm0 node even though da0 is
partitioned. When mounting the mirror it seems that /dev/mirror/gm0
only represents the root partition. How can we get the mirror to
recognise the other partitions?
Thanks
Chris

Chris,
Based on my experience, it doesn't work to partition the underlying
disk device da0, but rather the mirror device gm0. I've had a lot of
success writing out new labels with
# bsdlabel -w /dev/mirror/gm0
# bsdlabel -e /dev/mirror/gm0
Editing the partition table by hand is a bummer, but for now, since
mirror devices don't show up in fdisk/disklabel tools in /stand/
sysinstall, this is the only way I know of to do it.
