I see my problem now... Partition a on my raid file system starts at
offset 63:
a: 4195296 63 4.2BSD 1024 8192 46616
but the boot loader assumes that it starts on offset 0 (reading the code)
in order to read "boot".
I'll have to recreate the filesystems in the raid set...
There's a documentation discrepancy between the guide and raidctl man page
by the way: The man page states that reading the kernel from a raid set is
not possible except alpha and pmax, but I'll file a bug report on that.
Cheers,
