Ah, so we should really be leaving that 16 offset there?

I'm having trouble getting the kernel to mount a mirrored partition as
root now - I have geom_mirror_load="YES" in loader.conf, but if I

boot -as

I can only see da0* and da1* available, no gmirror drives. If I just
select a daX drive then kldstat, geom_mirror is present in the list.
Additionally, gmirror list shows nothing until I kldunload it, then
kldload it again, at which point I see GEOM_MIRROR messages about my
configured mirror. Did I miss something out of loader.conf ? I can't
find anything to suggest I need more in there.
