Please explain syslog entry about gmirror

Hi,

I have installed BETA2 and every time I boot up the system I get the
following message in syslog:

GEOM_MIRRORGEOM_MIRROR: : Device mirror/boot launched (1/2).
Device mirror/encrypted launched (1/2).

It's a bit mangled, but it's not the problem. The problem is this
"(1/2)". I don't like the kernel think for even a second that my mirror
could be inconsistent.

I have the following setup:

- 2xGPT on 1TB drives
- bootblock on both drives
- /boot on gmirror with UFS
- everything else including rootfs:
	* geom_mirror -> geom_eli -> bsdlabel

What's going on in the dmesg?

gmirror status gives me (correctly):
            Name    Status  Components
     mirror/boot  COMPLETE  ada0p2 (ACTIVE)
                            ada2p2 (ACTIVE)
mirror/encrypted  COMPLETE  ada0p4 (ACTIVE)
                            ada2p4 (ACTIVE)
