Ahm... where's the beef? I.e. where does this RAM-Disk Image come from?

It's safe to *read* from one of the two disks, but what I don't 
understand is:

Asume there are 4 disks: disk #1+#3 are RAID1 for -STABLE, disk #2+#4 
are for -current. I want to boot -stable, so I try to load the RAM-Disk 
Image from disk #1 - but it's crashed. How do I know what disk to use 
next?

Please answer per Mail too, I'm reading this list via docs.freebsd.org
