Of course...

corsec# gmirror status md0
      Name    Status  Components
mirror/md0  COMPLETE  da0a
corsec#

(and for good measure md1)

corsec# gmirror status md1
      Name    Status  Components
mirror/md1  COMPLETE  da0b
                      da1b


Now, what I haven't yet done, is to insert what is the second disk into
the mirror, but i have all data on md0 when I mount it....

Why haven't i done it? 
Simple paranoia I guess... 
I wanna proove I can boot off the mirror md0 before I blow away data on
da0a and insert that into the mirror....
Failure to confirm I can boot off /dev/mirror/md0 could easily mean i
have a system that doesn't boot, and that ain't good to man nor beast...

Cheers
AM
