Hello I tried to follow some suggestions I got on this list to get my self-made mirror-disk to boot. The tip was the use /stand/sysinstall - config - fdisk - disklabel and let it install a bootmanager. I tried to do this, however it did not write my slices to the disk. (no errors or anything, it just didn't write it). I used fdisk from the console, and that worked. However, now I don't have the disk bootable. The device is /dev/ad1, the root filesystem is on /dev/ad1s1a The disk is a backup/mirror, so it should only be booted as a replacement for my main disk on /dev/ad0. How do I get it bootable now? (so installing bootmanager and letting it to boot the kernel on the s1a partition. Kind regards Guy
