I've tried several iterations of the single-slice method, but I'm still
unable to boot. The loader complains that it can't find the kernel and
lsdev reports:

disk1s1: FFS bad disklabel
disk2s1: FFS bad disklabel

I'm a little puzzled. I got this working on another machine by
hardcoding the provider labels in gmirror and not decrementing the size
of the slice in fdisk. Not sure why it's giving me so much trouble going
this route.

Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong?
