Well apparently I've been hallucinating because it definitely doesn't work.  I'd
rather fix the device tree so it only restores onto one disk, since the raid
level shouldn't matter and it does in fact get masked out.  So the only thing
left would be to fix the device tree so the only device it knows about is the
device we're restoring to.  Thanks,
