Bulk hackery, that's how. See http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2004/05/msg03665.html This worked for me insofar as I got GRUB to install, but I didn't seem to have a menu.lst, despite the above saying I should have. I had to do further hackery at a grub prompt along the lines of: root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz ro root=/dev/md0 md=0,/dev/foo,/dev/bar initrd /initrd.img boot where /dev/foo (and optionally /dev/bar) were the members of my /dev/md0. (Optional, as in my case, I was trying to build a degraded RAID1). If you have an md1, add "1,/dev/baz,/dev/blaz" to the above incantation. Once I managed to boot into the sucker, I recreated my initrd for good measure, and ran update-grub, and it built a menu for me. It wasn't for the faint of heart at all.
