I Could be wrong, but i believe that you dont have to disklabel your GEOM devices on sysinstall.. just make sure you load the geom_mirror module on your /boot/loader.conf file (add geom_mirror_load=3D"YES") and mount the mirrored device... Upon loading, the geom_mirror module will read the metadata on the mirrored devices and will create the appropriate device (the one you should mount)... to be sure, after doing your upgrade, without labeling your disks (dont touch them using sysinstall) just run gmirror load that will load the module and read your mirrored partitions.. all your data should be there, and gmirror status will tell you what is the device you need to add to /etc/fstab good luck!
