I tried to use sysinstall from mfsBSD to install FreeBSD 8.2 amd64 on to 
already partitioned gmirror, but without success.
Sysinstall unpacked distribuition files in to right place (/mnt) but 
adding users, rc.conf, timezone and other settings was done in running 
live system, not on installed files under /mnt.
Maybe it was my mistake in some sysinstall configuration. I tried it 
hard, but no luck...
