In that case, I would:
1) Do a normal shutdown of the machine
2) Disconnect the bad drive
3) Power up the system
If the array starts, it will be automatically removed from the array. If the array
doesn't start, maybe change the the raidtab file to match the new disk assignments.
If that fails, put the disk back in and reboot. Disconnect the power from the bad
disk while it is idle. Then access the file system.
