As I said, /boot resides inside my / raid0 set. There is no need to
have non-raid disks when booting with lilo, all you have to do is tell
lilo how to access the underlying data from your raid-set, i.e. the
translation from /dev/md0 to /dev/sda1 in my case. And using the disk
parameter of lilo, this is a fairly straight-forward task.
So again, using lilo and very little magic, there is absolutely no
need for a separate partition for /boot.
