Anyway, I imagine everyone (myself included) is afraid to tell you to do
anything at this point that might trash your data. My advice now would
be to put it back where it worked, and make a backup.
I'm just going through this myself. As far as I know mdadm does *not*
support nvraid. It does support imsm, or intel raid, which I'm in the
process of setting up on my workstation.
I can't find anything in the docs regarding mdadm working with nvraid,
you should be trying dmraid for that.
If all you have is /dev/control and you are not using a dmraid supported
kernel (genkernel requires dodmraid to find and assemble arrays) then
execute `dmraid -ay` and check dmesg and /dev/mapper for contents.

Thanks Dan,
I'm not using genkernel at the moment. I'll try those steps and let you
know how it goes. The Raid array worked on the OpenSuse operating
system that I blew away to install gentoo, so I should be able to
resurrect it without wiping everything out.
