I have an exact same disk in as ad2 in the system and did everything in this document top section through dumping the data and setting up /etc/fstab and loader.conf. I created the /boot.config as shown except I replaced the '1' with '2' just like I did for the other steps, but this does not appear correct. I now stall when booting at the boot: prompt. What can I type in the boot: prompt to get back in my system and make the necessary changes? Also, what should the /boot.config look like to boot to my new disk and continue through the steps for adding the first disk to the mirror? I guess it looks like this now: 1:ad(2,a)/boot/loader. http://people.freebsd.org/~rse/mirror/ -- Robert
