Of course there are preferences in sense that it does look nice if freebsd-boot is in front. Also, if you do have mirror setup, it is some work, but you can re-arrange mirror side partitioning (with usual cautions like having scrub done, having backup, having third disk would be helpful). I have a raidz with 3 SSDs on it IIRC. Removing the SSD from the pool and readjusting partitions would probably be ok, but I'm not really keen on doing potentially destructive things like that, unless I absolutely have to do them :/.. Thanks! -Ngiehelp
