I'm not sure what you mean here. I showed it as "a:" as that's how
bsdlabel reports it when displaying the label 'bsdlabel ad6' for example.

I think this was part of my problem. For example, I did 'bsdlabel ad6'
instead of 'bsdlabel ad6s1'. Now I have entries such as /dev/ad6s1a and
/dev/ad8s1a after using 'bsdlabel -e <dev>'.
However now I use 'gmirror label root /dev/ad[68]s1a' as in the guide.
No error is reported at the command line but /dev/mirror/root is not
created either. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Drew
