But I'm having a bit of a problem with the inital gmirror command. Acording to the Handbook, I should be able to do something like: gmirror lable -vnb round-robin load rootfs /dev/ad4 ( /dev/ad4 is the boot disk) But when I do this, I get an error message with the syntax of gmirror. I'm doing this while booted from the 6.1 RELEASE CD (1) and after having kldloadeded geom_mirror Anyone got any ideas here? -- U.S. Encouraged by Vietnam Vote - Officials Cite 83% Turnout Despite Vietcong Terror - New York Times 9/3/1967
