Once installed, go to main menu, select Fixit. Select Fixit from CD/DVD Once Fixit has loaded, type the following commands: chroot /dist mount_devfs devfs /dev ### You should get error at this next command, or continue gmirror clear /dev/<hard_disk_freebsd_was_installed_on> # No error on load gmirror load # Should get a the help output from gmirror - it doesn't recognize 'label'; gmirror label -v -b load gm0 /dev/<hard_disk_freebsd_was_installed_on> For 2 above, do the following: Install FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE go back to main menu insert 6.2-RELEASE cd select fixit - then from cd/dvd select OK at warning of different disk version from sysinstall version type the following commands when fixit is loaded: chroot /dist mount_devfs devfs /dev gmirror clear /dev/<disk_freebsd_was_installed_on> ## Should get error above if there was no gmirror - it's OK gmirror load gmirror label -v -b load gm0 /dev/<disk_freebsd_was_installed_on> mount /dev/mirror/gm0s1a /mnt echo 'geom_mirror_load="YES"' >> /mnt/boot/loader.conf echo 'swapoff="YES"' >> /mnt/etc/rc.conf set -i ".bak" "s%<dis_freebsd_was_installed_on>%mirror/gm0%g" /mnt/etc/fstab reboot the system into newly installed OS as root, type gmirror status ## Error of "Command 'status' not available." df ## will show you're booted onto a gmirror array >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
