As you referenced my post - I never solved that. It was just too painful to seriously debug it over a rented KVM from half the world away and requiring me to open a trouble ticket for every reboot. I even tried to replicate the problem locally on supposedly same hardware (HP Compaq dc5100 + 2x SATA HDDs) but here I couldn't get it to hang on raidframe. I did manage to consistently hang it by enabling the front two USB ports, tough.
Eventually I had to abandon the idea of root-on-raid and use raid1 just for the data set (without RAID_AUTOCONFIG it works for me). Let me point out for the archives that this machine seems very weird in many subtle ways, so I do not reccomend it for [OpenBSD|serious use]. Can you show a dmesg? I'm still working up the nerve to upgrade another remote server (with totally different hardware, but still) with root-on-raid.
