whoa...
just re-read what i put yesterday..

"before I blow away data on da0a "

I meant to say blow the data away on da1a, i.e. the / that is currently
mounted, when it should be /dev/mirror/md0 according to fstab.

My fstab only has refereence to / as /dev/mirror/md0 and nothing else.

/dev/mirror/md0         /               ufs     rw      1   1


I obviously installed the system onto the second disk to start with, and
issue boot dka1 to boot onto the second disk from SRM (not made anything
permanent yet in SRM)

Yet, even when i pass boot dka0 to SRM, dka0 in SRM = da0 in BSD, 
/ still mounts off the second disk..

Something in the boot process is picking /dev/da1a up as root, right
after GEOM_MIRROR starts... as per the last line but one in this boot
output.....
