Hmm -- I do have /etc/raid?.conf files, but I see at about that point
in the boot process 


	raid0: RAID Level 1
	raid0: Components: /dev/wd0a /dev/wd1a
	raid0: Total Sectors: 829440 (405 MB)
	raid1: RAID Level 1
	raid1: Components: /dev/wd0e /dev/wd1e
	raid1: Total Sectors: 115647232 (56468 MB)
	boot device: raid0
	root on raid0a dumps on raid0b
	root file system type: ffs
	raid0: Device already configured!
	raid1: Device already configured!

which suggests that they are auto-configured.

I suppose I could rename those files, reboot, and see what happens...
