You have to initialize the raid-set:
mkraid --really-force /dev/md0
(why someone thought we were "really" stupid and made the option "really-force"
is beyond me.)
The disks must be partition such that (in your case) sda1 and sdb1 are the
entire disks.
For future use (and depending on if you've got autoraid compile - something I'd
advise against if you value your data), just use raidstart /dev/md0.

BTW: I'm assuming raidtools-0.90 et al.
