your bios already have the otion built in .. boot form hdc, boot from hda, boot from cd, boot from floppy... boot from network ... you pick ... for raid .... if you have configured it correctly ... all the boot info is in the mbr of each disk hda and hdc if those are the ones used for /dev/md0 for how all that works ... not many documents on that .. ( the boot process going down to asm instruction sequence ) grub would be a bad choice for booting raid boxes since it likes to read the disks before it decides what to do, and cant read the disk go get its info since it cant talk to it yet c ya alvin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
