Not sure if i understand: You don't boot from the raid arrays, correct?
These are only data or whatever arrays which you mount to /mnt/mdX?
Have you put your raid module (raid1) in /etc/rc.conf->MODULES and have
you put your array specs into /etc/mdadm.conf?
If not:
Boot system
modprobe raid1
mdadm -E -s >>/etc/mdadm.conf
mdadm -A -s
Also the partition types should be *fd* on all raid array members.
Try booting again..

But if you have / (and/or /boot) on the raid arrays:
Have you added the mdadm HOOK to /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and (not sure if
needed but surely recommend) filled /etc/mdadm.conf with your array
settings?
