Ok... man newfs shed some light on how to prepare a new disk...

newfs -U /dev/mirror/gm0s1
mkdir /mirror
mount /dev/mirror/gm0s1 /mirror

did the trick. It boots ok and it seems to work (gmirror list does 
return something, although it says "DIRTY" which doesn't sound 
excellent...).

I'll read the manual.

Thanks!

Christian
