I allready had two bootable partitions, as i migrated from ataraid. The 'gmirror label' command did not work on mounted devices. If the trick kern.geom.debugflags=16, as Axel wrote, doesn't work, possible solutions are dump/restore of / to a fresh disk or starting from the life-cd. You can also try to boot from a disk of another machine. - -- Christian Hiris <4711@chello.at> | OpenPGP KeyID 0x3BCA53BE OpenPGP-Key at hkp://wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net and http://pgp.mit.edu -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFBapfR09WjGjvKU74RAv4xAJ4/JtpTyZJpFjGgGb0Z78zrQvYQnwCfRbMB AeUbPTtkXoMnK1e3aIZNKAg= =iFN6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
