Is any filesystem on ad0 mounted? Try booting from the freebsd install cd, choose rescue from live cd and insert disc 2... then cd /dist; chroot .; mount_devfs devfs /dev; gmirror load; gmirror label ...; exit; mount yourrootfs /mnt; /dist/usr/bin/vi /mnt/etc/fstab (change devices to the gmirror devices), echo geom_mirror_load=\"YES\" >>/ mnt/boot/loader.conf; echo swapoff=\"YES\" >> /etc/rc.conf (if there's a swap partition on the mirror); umount /mnt; exit and reboot :) Hope that helps Kind regards, Michael Riexinger systems engineer -- claranet gmbh internet service provider tel +49 (0) 69 - 40 80 18 - 300 email: michael.riexinger@de.clara.net http://www.claranet.de/
