Raidframe is really easy to use. The man pages for raidctl(8) will

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.
Raidframe works very well. I followed the instructions at
http://www.eclectica.ca/howto/openbsd-software-raid-howto.php
and my RAID 1 is rebuilding right now. Everything seems to be working
very well. I just posted another thread regarding the lack of
automatic boot in latest firmware issue.
