a couple of notes
the problem with lilo is not the root device, but the device where the
kernel is stored, so if kernel is /boot/vmlinux and /boot is (say /dev/sda1)
you don't need changing real-root-dev in initrd, just tell lilo:
root=/dev/md0
and it wil work OK.

i tried to hack lilo to support booting from a raid1 device, but it isn't so
easy, lilo tries to determine the geometry of the md device and this
is a no-no, probably i should try adding an option to lilo.conf like
md0=/dev/sda1,/dev/sdb1
and then do things twice in the lilo code, but i am sooo lazy :(((
