I'm sure they were once, but I initialized the disks multiple times.
Booting it back up to verify now. Yup, both drives show:
# disklabel sd2
# /dev/rsd2c:
type: SCSI
[...]
total sectors: 286739329
16 partitions:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg]
a: 286739328 0 RAID
c: 286739329 0 unused

So after experimenting yesterday, I think my dated recollection of "srN"
meaning "SCSI removable" caused me to presume it incorrect. I was trying
"sd2a/BSD" and "sd4a/bsd", but those give me unusual errors. If "srN"
instead means "soft RAID N", then "sr0a" is correct, and I hadn't originally
tried that. But, as noted, that gives me:
{0} ok boot disk2 sr0a/bsd
Boot device: /pci@0/pci@0/pci@2/scsi@0/disk@2 File and args: sr0a/bsd
OpenBSD IEEE 1275 Bootblock 1.4
>> OpenBSD BOOT 1.12
ERROR: /iscsi-hba: No iscsi-network-bootpath property
Unknown device: sr0
Cannot boot from softraid: Unknown error: code 19
Program terminated
{0} ok
So, maybe I should look at that error? Let me know if you can confirm
that interpretation of "sr0a", and if that's for sure what I should
be using with this raid across sd2a and sd3a. Thanks!
