>Description:
The GEOM Mirror documentation in http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/geom-mirror.html tells you to do this:

# echo "1:da(1,a)/boot/loader" > /boot.config

But it doesn't instruct you to edit or remove the file after the GEOM installation has completed. If you do not change or remove it, the next time you try to boot with just one disk it will fail.
