Note that there is still a buglet in the boot loader when booting RAID
partitions on disks that previously had plain FFS on them.  If that's
the case with your disks, you'll want to zero the start of the disks
before configuring the RAID mirror (e.g. `dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/?d?c
bs=64k count=2`) otherwise you'll not be able to boot from the disks.
