        Er - have you seen man atacontrol in RELENG_4 lately ? I will
quote the most pertinent extract:

     Allthough the ATA driver allows for creating an ATA RAID on
     disks on any controller, there are restrictions. It is only pos­
     sible to boot on an array if its either located on a "real" ATA
     RAID controller like the Promise or Highpoint controllers, or if
     the RAID declared is of RAID1 or SPAN type, in case of a SPAN
     the partition to boot must reside on the first disk in the SPAN

        So the answer is - yes you can.
