The trick is to load a kernel with software RAID support even
before you have a root filesystem with your kernel and modules
on it. :) This is not different between Linux and FreeBSD.
Putting everything you need to boot into a ramdisk and loading
it with your favourite boot manager is the solution. (I'm not
sure but maybe the newly created livecd port is of help, too.
Or you have a look at how installation media are done.)
