In case of gmirror, unlikely.

Up to the point hte kernel really kicks in, all you have are separate,
disconnected drives, partitions, etc. The boot process will run off one
of the mirrored partition pair just like it's a "normal" partition.

Your loader.conf should point to a "normal" partition (before
mirroring), and your fstab should point to gmirror device.
