Software raid on Sparc64

[Joacim Melin]

I created the raid, did a dump from my current root (/dev/ad0) to the  
second drive /dev/ad1). I then take it that the box would start from / 
dev/ad1 so I could put /dev/ad0 into the raid with gmirror but it  
just rebooted to /dev/ad0 and the raid, /dev/mirror/gm0, was gone.

I have a system installed on /dev/ad0 already. I found one howto  
where you could break out of the install phase and do the gmirror  
thing but since this box (Netra X1) is headless and only operated via  
a serial connection I haven't found out how to make that happen.
