For the records:

As I was able to boot into bsd.rd on the shell I did:

'bioctl -c C -k /dev/sd1a -l /dev/sd0a softraid0'

After a reboot I could start via

'boot sr0a:/bsd'

into normal operations. Guess I have to do
'installboot sd2'
now as this is what the RAID-volume was attached to.

Thanks to all of you who took some time and provided help!

Best,
STEFAN
