Refer to this document for a demonstration which is more
directed toward GPT:

http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/docs/html/gmirror.html

The Handbook's mentioning of MBR, even though commands
involved are centered around gpart (instead of the more
traditional tools fdisk and bsdlabel) seems to suggest
that an update might be indicated. :-)
