Not being up on the latest in FreeBSD's software RAID I cannot comment
on how evolved it might be. However, if nobody here can help you I'd
suggest looking at NetBSD's RAIDframe, which has very good support for
software RAIDed root filesystems. I myself am of the persuasion that
the only particularly good reason to make / a RAID filesystem is to add
fault tolerance, which you don't /really/ get with software RAID. I
tend to go with SCSI hardware RAID cards doing RAID1 mirroring for my
server system drives.
