System is down (won't boot)
>Description:
I attempted to enabled the geom_mirror as detailed in the handbook. After rebooting I am receiving this error:
Invalid memory access at &SRR0: 00000000.0743f4c &SRR1: 90000000.00003030
Same issue on the other identical system, the error is slightly different:
Decrementer exception at &SRR0: 00000000.0743f4c &SRR1: 90000000.00003030
I can't boot either of them at this point, but they are not important. The two systems were built specifically for testing this. Each system had 2 identical hard drives.
Screen shots of the error can be seen on the forum topic: http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=33613

>How-To-Repeat:
1) Clean install of FreeBSD 9.1 beta powerpc64 on a Apple Mac Pro G5 with two identical SATA disks.
2) Follow instructions as detailed in the FreeBSD handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/geom-mirror.html
3) Upon reboot, system fails.
