I have been mirroring the virtual disk in a FreeBSD vm for a couple of years and the main disk got corrupted. The mirrored disk doesn't boot, says it can't find a kernel, so I think I missed out on an additional step, writing an MBR or boot sector, perhaps. The files are all there if I mount them from a VM with FreeBSD.I assume there is a way to make a mountable disk bootable. fdisk and gpart are available but it's been a long time since I messed around with those. -- Paul Beard / www.paulbeard.org/
