Just worked out a problem that has been bugging me for a while now,
(thanks, Manuel!) where /etc/rc.d/raidframeparity fails at startup,
caused by some turkey [me] deciding to use the 'd' slice of raid
devices for filesystems... So what I'm now wondering is why
raidctl(8) shouldn't use raw devices by default, which would stop
the above failure.

Scanning through the source, I believe it is all ioctls, no reads
or writes are made to the device.

Thoughts?

Cheers,
