Hi Tom!

Thank you for your great answer. I'll try repost the question to the 
freebsd-questions maling list which seems to be the correct list for my 
question. I hope I'll get an answer that would solve the problem.

You are absolutelty correct about the fact that freebsd installer should 
have a raid tool just like many of the Linux installers. This is a 
critical issue for me and if I can't get the raid 1 to work with FreeBSD 
I have to go back to Linux - and an installer that lets me do the 
software raid :-/
