If I remove one of the SATA disk, the bios of the SATA raid controler
complains to not have 2 disks and is marked 'broken', but I can try to
boot.

When FreeBSD boot:
ar0: 194480MB <VIA Tech V-RAID RAID1> status: BROKEN

And I can't mount the raid.

When I replace the SATA disk, the bios proposes to update the array,
to be sure of the integrity, and FreeBSD can start.

HTH.
