raid 1 with gmirror && install loader on 2nd disk

hallo

I have installed a raid 1 system with gmirror and I want to have both
hard disks able to boot from, just in case

what are the steps in order to make /dev/ad2 bootable ?

(I am trying to prevent the following situation: one of the hdd fails
and I must boot from the last remaining, so I guess it should be
bootable too)


thanks,

petre
