Best way I've found is to make /boot a small RAID1 (e.g. below is
/dev/md0) on /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1, then your lilo conf just has to
have these lines:
boot=/dev/md0
raid-extra-boot=/dev/sda,/dev/sdb
And if the sda disk dies, it will still boot of sdb and use the md0 to boot.
Just thought I'd put a few more technical details rather than just
saying "this will work"
Linux can boot from raid-1. So you could chop off a partition from sdb
for / and put swap on sdc. Another approach is to have alternative
installation on a partition on sdb. This can be quite convenient for
upgrades and error recovery.
