Our boot-loader is looking for /boot/ directory on <disk>s<X>a, right?
If so, you have to teach geom_mbr, that it should create slices for
providers from you class. I've such a patch ready for GEOM_MIRROR:

if (error)
fwsectors =3D 17;
The only thing which is missing here is a big /* XXX */, but this way
was suggested by phk.
I need to add GEOM_LABEL here as well...
