        I did this. Raid1 array os working just peachy.

        I did not do these things. rc.sysinit references the obsolete
raidadd command, so i am assuming that it needs to go.

        Here is section from rc.sysinit:
#############################################################################
        # Add raid devices
if [ -f /proc/mdstat -a -f /etc/raidtab -a -x /sbin/raidadd ]; then
        echo "Starting up RAID devices."
        raidadd -a

        rc=$?

        if [ $rc = 0 ]; then
                raidrun -a
                rc=$?
        fi

        # A non-zero return means there were problems.
        if [ $rc -gt 0 ]; then
                echo
                echo
                echo "*** An error occurred during the RAID startup"
                echo "*** Dropping you to a shell; the system will reboot"
                echo "*** when you leave the shell."

                PS1="(RAID Repair) \#"; export PS1
                sulogin

                echo "Unmounting file systems"
                umount -a
                mount -n -o remount,ro /
                echo "Automatic reboot in progress."
                reboot
        fi
fi
############################################################################

        I assume thre is something similar in the halt script.

        My question is, do i need to do a make install after editing the
rc.sysinit and halt scripts? If so, what exactly does the make install
do that I need to run it again (remember, my system has been running fine
for about 3 weeks now).


        THANKS!!

        Chris
