Can I migrate from ataraid to graid ?

We created a few 8.3-RELEASE systems with boot mirrors using onboard Intel ICH10R. The system picks up the mirror with "ataraid" and I see it in dmesg like this:
ar0: 114312MB <DDF RAID1> status: READY
But it seems that graid is a much better option, and ataraid has problems (I am seeing chatter on freebsd-fs and other places about problems).
Is it possible for us to migrate this boot mirror to graid ? Can we just leave the mirror as-is (since it was bios formatted) and just start using graid ?
Has anyone done this switch on a live system, or is it impossible (and we need to reformat and start over) ?
Thanks.
