At the current time, vinum can't be used for the root partition, so if you 
really need mirrored root, you need a hardware solution.  For most systems the 
root partition very rarely changs, so a solution of vinum for everything else 
and a cron job to dd the root partition to its "mirror" might be acceptable.  
This is what we do.
