Snap :-) Thats exactly what I have done - but the bits you cant mirror 
are the GPT partititons for bootcode. I was fiddling with hose of da0 
without realising it was now using da1 to boot. If it ever chooses da2 
or da3 then I will need to mirror it there too, so I have it partitioned 
like that, but am currently using those as swap as it shows no signs of 
wanting to boot from them for now.

Heh, yes, I can believe it. I too have XP in VirtualBox. Maybe thats 
just the best solution to this after all.
