It turns out that the FreeBSD 4.9-Stable install cd correctly identifies
the single drive as da0 and the RAID as da1 and allows for separate
configuration of each, so at least I will be able to use this box with
FreeBSD :-) .... It would be nice to use 5.2 (and eventually 5.3 with
the new threading) however, and I am curious as to what changed between
4 and 5 that is preventing 5 from properly recognizing this particular
setup.

Enabling boot logging reveals the following:
DEBUG: deviceTry: attempting to open /dev/da0
DEBUG: deviceTry: open of /dev/da0 succeeded on first try
DEBUG: deviceTry: attempting to open /dev/da1
DEBUG: deviceTry: making raw device for /dev/da1 [13,65546]
DEBUG: deviceTry: final attempt for /mnt/dev/da1 returns -1

This occurs with 5.2.1-RC install CD as well
