There are some motherboards which have software RAID in the BIOS. This
allows them to deal with that problem at boot time, and then the kernel
does
software RAID with the same mapping once it's loaded.
Mmm... those boards use the Highpoint chip... thats not real good at
anything ;-)

If the bad drive is put in by itself, after a while the disk is
failed and it tries to boot by floppy.
Does Lilo ever appear? or does the BIOS ask itself for a floppy

I believe hardware RAID would have worked transparently here.
