One simply needs to know, you have to set up your the discs manually if you intend to, eg gmirror the / partition. I think on geom@ Pawel once explained why this wasn't changed in sysinstall, but I can't find the mail. > And had those hacks in UFS and Swap been made > because of sysinstall or because of something else?

You can't. dump(1) and restore(1), that's all you've got. Mirroring partitions on a already running FreeBSD is counter-intuitive anyway. Set the second disc to sane values, dump your partitions, set up the mirrors/... in single-user mode (even for / but here only with the a partition of the second disc), restore your dumps, boot the second disc, add and sync a from the first disc. Utilizing `tunefs -L` and glabel for /etc/fstab eases the pain. Adding Raid 0/1/3/10 (plain and/or geli encrypted) via geom afterwards to a fully configured system with wrong offsets is possible (done it once, don't intend to do it twice), but there are many ways to shoot your knee-caps while doing so.
