BTW, I have another IDE disk installed with FreeBSD6.1. It can boots. Not sure if I can boot up from this IDE disk and manually mount the mirror drive gm0 and copy and save the data files on the mirror drive? Anyone did that before? Not sure if I can mount the individual SATA drive for this recovery purpose (part of the gm0 drive).
