What I was running was 4-STABLE, which is the key - as you see, 4.5-
RELEASE doesn't work.  One way I can think of to do this without 
downloading 4.7 is to install 4.5 with your disks in non-RAID 
configuration, cvsup, build world, configure your RAID system, then 
install the newly built 4.7 on it.  How easily this can be accomplished 
depends on whether you have a CD burner or spare hard drive on 
which to save 4.7, and what "flavor" of RAID you want to use.  Or you 
can try to find a friend with a fast connection and a CD burner.  :)
