Description darth 2005-09-27 22:10:16 UTC 
Order of commands issued and result is inconsistent.
Some minor typos.
Swap space removed, should reference how to re-establish that.

Fix: - add expected output when correctly applying gmirror
- the device entries do not appear after 'gmirror label' but first after 'gmirror load' (move para)
- 'geom load' -> 'gmirror load' (could also have been 'geom mirror load')
- add footnote about that references section about adding swapspace, since this example removes it.
- make fstab file be a 'screen', not a 'programlisting'
- typo; gm0sa1 -> gm0s1a
How-To-Repeat: Read the handbook section:  RAID1 - Mirroring

I finally added your patch (with flz's feedback) to the handbook 
chapter.  Sorry for the delay! It should appear within 24 
hours from now.  Thanks for the submission!
