Chris,

These instructions are useful if you don't want to boot into recovery
console to set things up offline.  You can save a lot of fancy footwork
if you have physical access and a CD-ROM, and don't mind about 15
minutes of downtime.  My crib sheet is at
http://dannyman.toldme.com/2005/01/24/freebsd-howto-gmirror-system/ .

If it does work for you, plesae let me know.  I'd be plased to hear that
it can handle Sparc. :)

Sincerely,
-danny
