The root partition is at the beginning:

disklabel: Invalid signature in mbr record 0
# /dev/rraid0d:
type: RAID
disk: raid
label: RAIDframe mirror
flags:
bytes/sector: 512
sectors/track: 128
tracks/cylinder: 8
sectors/cylinder: 1024
cylinders: 305129
total sectors: 312452608
rpm: 3600
interleave: 1
trackskew: 0
cylinderskew: 0
headswitch: 0           # microseconds
track-to-track seek: 0  # microseconds
drivedata: 0 

16 partitions:
#        size    offset     fstype [fsize bsize cpg/sgs]
 a:    196608         0     4.2BSD   1024  8192    89  # (Cyl.      0 -    191)
[...]

But it doesn't work nevertheless.

	Kind regards
