Use Jumpstart. A profile to install your machine with mirroring should
be pretty short, simple, and easy to create. It will be do

Will it be posible to boot from a snapshot? I think this would be
useful when applying patches, since you could snapshot / ,/var and
/opt, patch the system, and revert back (by choosing a snapshot from

Can't this be done with UFS+SVM as well? A reboot would be required
