the nvsetenv command you wrote about does not help?
You can do "setenv auto-boot? true" on the firmware prompt.
With "printenv" you can verify if it is set and if it is also set after
a reboot.

That is tricky. The only way I have done that is to boot a ramdisk with
the necessary IPR utils and then I was able to create it. After you have
created it you need to reinstall again. The Linux tool is the only way
to create the RAID array.
