I did that.  This is not the case.  If you run "gmirror help" when
gmirror is not loaded, it does not load the module and it prints out a
helpful list of things.  If you do this on the fixit CD, it prints out
a list of four commands: help, list, load and unload.

Additionally, I loaded the kernel module manually from
/dist/boot/kernel/geom_mirror.ko and this did not change the behaviour
of the command.

Dave.
