Greetings,

I am a new NetBSD convert and have successfully built a RAID 1 mirror as my
root with Raidframe.  My question is, how do I go about copying my basic
system to the mirror drive and make it bootable, in the event that the
primary drive goes south?

I've tried a number of combinations of disklabel, fdisk, etc and have only
managed to mangle the label and partitioning (though it was a good test of
the mirror and recovering the OS from CD-ROM, which worked like a charm.)

Thanks,
Neil
