Using 'b' (even 'c') is not a good idea for me too. Try on your second disk (mirror), before configuring RAID, with the two following partitions: a: 512M 4.2BSD Boot partition c: ----- unused Entire drive d: * RAID Everything except boot kernel >> >> START disks >> >> /dev/wd2b # the fake device >> >> /dev/wd1b >> >> And then: START disks /dev/wd2d /dev/wd1d It works for my several configurations all the times.
