I am having trouble with THESE instructions:
http://people.freebsd.org/~rse/mirror/

I'm trying to create a RAID1 system with FreeBSD and the instructions
are not working. I'm getting this error:

mail# gmirror insert gm0 /dev/da0
Cannot access provider da0.

The command is trying to add the first disk /dev/da0 to the mirror gm0.
Has anyone else had success at creating a RAID1 mirror on FreeBSD. If
so, please let me know how you did it because these instructions are not
working at all.

Jason
