Not knowing what hardware you have, I would still hazard
that a RAID device will not show up as /dev/adN.
I would guess that the RAID controllers that use cam
might have their devices called by the /dev/daN convention,
but I don't know that.

One of "those" days here, sorry.

The last RAID controller I used under FreeBSD
was a compaq 2i which showed up as /dev/ida0
and (IIRC) the RAID was /dev/idad0 (so idad0s1a,
idad0s1b, and so on). The disks were all SCSI,
but since none of them were plugged into either
of the (more normal) SCSI controllers there were
no /dev/daN at all.
