I then take it that the box would start from / dev/ad1 so I could put /dev/ad0 into the raid with gmirror but it just rebooted to /dev/ad0 and the raid, /dev/mirror/gm0, was gone. I have a system installed on /dev/ad0 already. I found one howto where you could break out of the install phase and do the gmirror thing but since this box (Netra X1) is headless and only operated via a serial connection I haven't found out how to make that happen.
