Hi Jason:
1) please do NOT top post (i.e., don't reply @ the top of the email, it 
makes hell of understanding the thread). I've reordered this reply.

if you have scsi drives, it'll be da# (direct access #), S/PATA drives = 
  ad# .

Hence you *seem* to be using the right command.

2) man dmesg

and, btw, the steps in that howto definitely work...as a guide, just 
like any how to. there are always tweaks here and there to be done, 
which is why you should understand the steps rather than following them 
blindly and expecting them to work in your situation (although the 
gmirror bootstrap guide you refer to is actually pretty good).
