The question is, how do I go about partitioning gm0 from Fixit?
I've seen nothing so far that describes how to go about creating
multiple partitions on a gmirror (or on anything else, for that

gpart.

OK, given the system's age I will presume that it is not, thus
(I suppose) no reason to deal with gpart.
