"What Jason said."  If your disklabels of sd1 and sd2 don't have any 'a' 
partitions, then raidctl should have said:

  raidctl: ioctl (RAIDFRAME_CONFIGURE) failed: Invalid argument

(even with 'raidctl -C ...')

I believe David said:

Is there an 'a' partition that automatically gets defined??!??!

I'm curious to know that the (default) disklabels look like here... 
(i.e. the output from 'disklabel sd1' and 'disklabel sd2')

Later...
