It's difficult to supply the information asked for, since I wasn't aware of that url. :) As it turns out, it's happily newfsing now. I hadn't init'ed it, so it couldn't be up, and couldn't be newfsed. I read the part about a raid starting in the init state, but couldn't find anything about the init command until I stumbled across it in the list archives.
