first point sd0b is not a disk it's a partition. Second point: normaly the
'b' partition of a disk is used for swapping, so this setup is unusual.
Have you tried the setup with sd0a and sd1a?
Yeah, sorry about that, I meant that I've two physical disks (sd0 and
sd1) and I'm using the 'b' partitions on each for the raid1 array. I
don't think I can use the first partition as you can't boot from a
raidframe array under openbsd yet, thus the 'b' partitions are used
