After investigating a little further today, I found the config info on 
the drives to be mangled.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
# rm -f log
# for i in /dev/da0s1h /dev/da1s1h /dev/da2s1h /dev/da3s1h; do
(dd if=$i skip=8 count=6|tr -d '\000-\011\200-\377'; echo) >> log
done
# cat log
IN VINOx-server.debank.tvbC<>c3??Z${m5?
IN VINOx-server.debank.tvaC<><3?WPZ${m5?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I guess the drives can't be started again unless I have the parameters 
which I used during install (please say I'm wrong).
