I think I read a while ago that this (entry in loader.conf) loads the gmirror module either before or very early on during the kernel boot cycle (this could be completely fabricated) to ensure the root filesystem on the gmirror is available when things need it.
At the moment this loads the kernel module.
However if I build gmirror into the kernel staticly I have no idea when it's initialised and so - will my system still boot? Or will the gmirror code not have been initialised by the time it's needed?
This could be a stupid or academic question but the box in question is on the end of an ssh connection so trial and error would be unwise
