I currently have (-current/amd64):

# sysctl kern.root_device
kern.root_device = raid7
# dmesg | grep dk0
dk0 at wd0: 80706d87-e1f8-11e3-9080-10bf48bd3389
dk0: 14680192 blocks at 64, type: raidframe
raid7: Components: /dev/dk7 /dev/dk0
dk0 at wd0: 80706d87-e1f8-11e3-9080-10bf48bd3389
dk0: 14680192 blocks at 64, type: raidframe
raid7: Components: /dev/dk7 /dev/dk0

Is that the way around you are trying?
