I've just installed a new server with gmirror and I like it.  I've got an 
identical server running on-board RAID currently.  Can I split the array in 
the BIOS, install gmirror on disk 1, reboot, and add the second disk in?  Or 
will there be any complications with FreeBSD being initially installed on an 
array?
