MirBSD allows you to create RAIDframe devices from the installer ramdisk (bsd.rd or directly booting off the CD images) via raidctl(8) like this (well, with ed(1) as editor and no manual page available you'd better plan your raid.conf files beforehand), then reboot and the installer automatically recognises them and allows you to install to them (if using -A yes or -A root). The GENERIC kernel used for both the ramdisk (not floppy) and installed system is already RAIDframe capable. They say they much prefer it over hardware RAID for reliability reasons.
Much easier with the fork
