not with UFS (afaik). you can mirror the disks with ZFS during install. but you need something like jumpstart to setup up a slvm mirror at install time.

Thanks DukeNuke2
Yes i already know , but i'm asking if there is a possibility to achieve this on UFS at install time , also avanced disk layout at install time won't help on this

slvm won't work at install time... even with jumpstart this is a "after installation" task which only is automated by jumpstart... so a software mirror on install with UFS = no.
