Frankly you don't give enough info for me daring to give you any clue...

What are your {wd,raid}* disklabels, raid*.conf ?
Are your raid's autoconfig features activated, or are you setting them 
up via /etc/raid*.conf ?
The only thing I can guess is that you put a mount entry for 
/dev/raid1a in your /etc/fstab...
