Well I was hoping something would be built in so we do not need to tie
additional dependencies to BSD Installer.   I don't mind tying gmirror
to BSD Installer to create the actual volumes but it seems like
somewhat of a hack to use gmirror to survey them.   Maybe I just need
to go ahead and use gmirror to survey in addition?

Thanks for your quick reply!
