Which FreeBSD version are you using?
When you get "Geom not found" error geom_mirror.ko module is loaded?
Does /dev/mirror/gm0s1 file exist?

You should not use offset 0 for 'd' partition - user 16 instead and
decrease its size.

Also remember that gm0s1 is one sector smaller than its smallest
component.
