Try looking at either ccd (man ccd) - or if your running 3.0 - look at Vinum
(man vinum). If your not using 3.0 / current you won't be able to use DMA
(which AFAIK is only in 3.0 onwards for IDE drives).

Vinum offers the promise of being 'bootable' when finished, but it's only beta
so far... I have run it successfully with IDE only arrays/mirrors etc.
