What I want is to mirror the whole of the boot disk to da1, which
is identical to da0, but following Marcel's advice, will apply
gmirror per partition.
So starting with efi partition:
First I create GPT scheme on da1
# gpart create -s gpt da1
da1 created
# gpart show

now to mirror root partition.
My problem is that root is mounted and cannot (?) be unmounted,
unlike /efi,
on the live system.
# gpart add -b 819234 -s 1048576 -t freebsd-ufs da1
da1p2 added
#
# gmirror label -vb round-robin root

Like this?
# gmirror label -vb round-robin root /dev/da0p2
gmirror: Can't store metadata on /dev/da0p2: Operation not permitted.
isn't that partition accessed by other process
# gmirror label -vb round-robin root /dev/da0p2
gmirror: Can't store metadata on /dev/da0p2: Operation not permitted.
isn't that partition accessed by other process or mounted?
should it not be mounted?
yes it should not, no matter what architecture.

I've read some boot disk gmirror examples, e.g.
http://people.freebsd.org/~rse/mirror
however, all examples I've seen are for i386
