I believe, that if you want to be able to boot from the mirrored set, you'll
need to get a controller that mirrors the drives for you... such as the
Adaptec adapters.
Raid is supported AFTER the kernel loads.
Though I may be wrong, with the more recent releases.

|We've got a Poweredge 2400 and the RAID was setup with 4GB boot and the
|other 104GB were divided in half and mirrored. We've outgrown the 50
|user NT license, so we put mandrake on it. The only problem is that
|linux is just treating it as two large partitions. How do I set up a
|mirror. We are doing nightly back-ups, but if something major happens,
|it's much easier to switch drives. Also, in NT there was a way of
|setting the updating of the mirror. Is this possible in Linux as well?
