This will not help much, but I can at least say that I have noticed
your messages go by.  Unfortunately I have no experience with any
raid controllers under freebsd.  If you made it successfully to the
"Rebooting..." line, then I think it's at the point that freebsd
has done everything it expected to do, and freebsd has told the
hardware to reboot.

I do not know why the hardware wouldn't reboot at that point.
