Okay tired performing that function without doing the umount. I tried
doing it without coping the files in /boot over to /mnt/newroot/boot but
it couldn't find /boot/boot.b. So i copied over all the files in /boot
to /mnt/newroot/boot. Then after running "lilo -r /mnt/newroot" I get
the following error:
"Sorry, don't know how to handle device 0x0900"
What does the above mean and how to i fix it?

I have reinstalled RH 6.1 several time due to incorrect stuff i have
messed up while trying stuff figured i would try to get some background
info before going ahead. :-(

I also have a extra small /boot partition but I just have the regular
stuff that is in /boot in there. Should I put some more stuff in
there. My end goal is to have a system that boots off RAID if i can
figure it out, but right now i need to get this machine into out
environment and i would really like to have Root on RAID before letting
it get hammered. I think i am close just have to figure out this lilo
thing.
