Yep, that makes perfect sense. As Michael said though, the raid actually 
has nothing to do with the error in this case as he only uses it for /home.

I guess in this instance it's simply a matter of two identical disks 
(possibly from dd) that the kernel is having to decide between, a 
situation I've never encountered. Closest thing for me was an overriding 
sd0 on umass.

The solution, outside of ensuring the disks don't look identical, is to 
use the bootdev=wd0 option with the kernel so that is doesn't have to 
choose.
