I was very pleased to come across this article because it looked like a very direct way to set up raid on the system disks. I just tried this on a new machine using a FreeBSD 6.0 release cd, but it failed. :( Specifically, it gave me the "operation not permitted" message whenI tried to execute the "gmirror label" command. I did set the kern.debugflags.geom to 16, so I felt somewhat stumped. Is there anything else that needs to be done?

  it also happened to me, but i found the solution, before running the gmirror label run this:
  # gmirror load
  
  and also is suggesting to do the next comand to the hds:
  # gmirror clear adX
  
  another tip is that if u already installed freebsdm u can also add gmirror through the installation disk entering the option to fix the system and then:
  # chroot /dist
  # mount_devfs devfs /dev
  ... gmirror comands ...
  # mount /dev/mirror/gm0s1a /mnt
  noticing that ur system will be at /mnt
