And to add to it, just in case this comes up next:

if the drives are attached to some kind of external controller, of
course one takes that too.
Even easier if you steal a geom based software-raid10. just put the
drives into a freebsd box and the volume appears (if glabel is also used).
Otherwise you'll have to do some juggling, but surely no rocket sience.
