I've just tried the root_mount.patch from pjd but it hasn't made any
difference, so I wonder if this is a new problem?

I've tried setting kern.geom.mirror.debug=2 in loader.conf, and the
only messages I get from GEOM_MIRROR are
"Tasting fd0"
"Tasting cd0"
"Tasting da0"
"Tasting da0s1a"
..
"Tasting da1"
"Tasting da1a"
"Tasting da1c"

It does this for each partition I have configured, but nothing else.
It doesn't seem to recognise the mirror on da1.

Anyone know what's going on here.. ?

Thanks,
