A problem setting raid0a as / partition

I have a fairly straight forward question. I have just set up my first
OpenBSD software Raid array. All went well and I have a 600GB Raid array
built and partitioned. It contains the following partitions:

/ - raid0a
/etc - raid0d
/var - raid0e
/usr - raid0f
/usr/local - raid0g
/home - raidh
/tmp - raidi

I have run raidctl -A root.

I have edited fstab on the /etc partition on both the raid /etc partition as
well as the wd0 /etc directory (wd0 is one partition).

When I try to mount / ass raid0a I receive the following notice on boot and
the wd0 partition is mounted as read only!
mount_ffs: /dev/raid0a on /: specified device does not match mounted device.

This is my first attempt to set up a software raid system, and according to
all the reading I have done this is possible and I have followed all the
information I can find.

Any ideas on how to set raid0a to / would be greatly appreciated I have been
working on this for 4 days and have not found the correct solution yet.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Bill
