You should be able to use the list command to view the configuration. It's
just that I'd start with a clean slate so to speak.

Not that I know. To gvinum, they're just drives.

By the way, you can also consider geom_mirror, for which an excellent

Both gvinum and gmirror approaches are able to boot from a mirrored system
disk. It depends on other factors which one you choose.
