ZFS and zpool mistake

Dear list,
I installed a freebsd with freebsd on a zfs root and only one disk:
pool: zroot
state: ONLINE
scan: none requested
config:
NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM
zroot ONLINE 0 0 0
ada0p3 ONLINE 0 0 0
This disk was now insterted into the computer and boots fine.
The next step I wanted was to setup a mirror with a second disk.
So I inserted a second disk, configured everything with gpart and added
the disk to the zroot with:
zpool add zroot gpt/disk1
(I think I had to execute zpool add zroot mirror gpt/disk1, this is not
clear from the man page)
And now I have a problem, it seems not to be a mirror but a stripe:
NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM
zroot ONLINE 0 0 0
ada0p3 ONLINE 0 0 0
gpt/disk1 ONLINE 0 0 0
Is there any chance to get it into a mirror?
I don't think there was anything written to the second disk but I cannot
remove it anymore.
Has anyone a tip for me, howto convert the stripe to a mirror?
Thanks,
Matthias
