Here's a pass at it:

http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/mirror/book.html
http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/mirror/patch-geom-2.diff

Notes:

I tried to factor out common information to the introduction and 
the Troubleshooting section afterward.

diskinfo(8) was used in place of gpart list because the disk capacity is 
in the first three lines, so the command line is simpler.

There is no entity for gnop(8) yet, but I have one locally.
