Actually RELENG_6 i386, post 6.1R

Yes. I've found this is not unusual with S(ATA) RAID controllers, and 
often had to do an 'atacontrol create' to persuade sysinstall that it 
really is a RAID. But as you can see from

>>ar0: 238418MB <Intel MatrixRAID RAID1> status: READY

it's all OK once the system is installed.
