If you used 'gstripe label' command to create this stripe it should show up
automatically on boot.

I wonder if there is no some other problem here, as there was simlar report
for gmirror.

Could you add:

	kern.geom.stripe.debug=1

line to your /boot/loader.conf, reboot and send dmesg from after boot?
