Raidframe is really easy to use. The man pages for raidctl(8) will give you step-by-step instructions. In a nutshell, though:
1) enable raidframe in your kernel (search for RAIDframe in GENERIC to get find the line), 2) create the raidn.conf (where n is a number for the array) following the man page -- see the examples section, 3) create the raid -- again, see the examples section in the man page, 4) copy the raidn.conf file to /etc if you want auto configuration during reboots (this part didn't leap out at me from the manpage), 5) enjoy.
