You need to use gmirror.  If you get it to clone a disk following these
instructions

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/geom-mirror.html

the disk will boot up on the new machine no problem provided hardware
compatibility.  Get rid of any label/fstab work you've done so far and
follow that page.
