I have a 6.1 setup with 4 identical 300GB disks, ad4,6,8,10.  I'd like to 
create a bootable mirror (gm0s1) of all 4 disks on a 512MB slice, and have 
the remaining space a big slice (gs0s2).  I've tried several different things 
using the docs found @ http://people.freebsd.org/~rse/mirror/ as a guide, 
with little luck, what I usually end up with an invalid partition table, or 
no boot device error when I reboot.  I think the key is somehow in how the 
slices are created on the original (ad4) disk.

If someone could provide me with some insight on how to accomplish this that 
would be very much usefull.
