Hi
there is no need to copy anything around ...

- you do install the system as usual
- before rebooting you create the to be mirrored disk with the gmirror label 
command
(you do not loose data here)
- then you change your fstab acordingly
- you reboot 
- you insert the mirror disk(s)
- gmirror should start syncing automatically if you did everything right

ready, this is a 3 minute thing
