In particular, moving to root-on-gmirror or root-on-glabel after an 
installation using standard FreeBSD installation media. Not having to jump 
between two disks or otherwise jumping through hoops would be very nice. A 
newfs arg would be controllable through the standard installer, thus  making 
this a lot easier.
