If I have my system configured as follows:

/dev/sda1 = /boot (bootable)
/dev/sda2 = /
/dev/sda3 = RAID

/dev/sdb1 = swap
/dev/sdb2 = /var
/dev/sdb3 = RAID

mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sda3 /dev/sdb3

Once that is done, since I am not using RAID on anything but my /home
partition, do I need to add 'md_mod' & 'raid1' in the rc.conf section?
Is this a requirement because the Wiki mentions nothing about it...
