What worked for me was the whole disk approach, not on-a-slice, ensured 
that 'swapoff="YES" was in /etc/rc.conf, changed the reboot and halt 
commands to shell scripts to ensure I always use 'shutdown -<h|r> when 
rebooting, and the final nugget was to add:

kern.geom.mirror.timeout=0

to /boot/loader.conf

I think that was all, if I remember anything else, I'll let you know. 
Hope it helps.
