Sparc64 and gmirror (failture)

[Steven Enderle]

Hello List,

while trying to set up a gmirror boot partition for a sun netra x1, i 
ran into problems.

I followed closely the well known manual at 
http://people.freebsd.org/%7Erse/mirror/ , except using sunlabel instead 
of bsdlabel and skipping fdisk process.

I do see the disk with mirror/gm0 but not the partitions. But they do 
show up when viewed with sunlabel and in /dev/ad1x

What i am missing here?

Tested with boot 5.3-REL and 5.4-PREREL
