Hi!

I've another idea to run a RAID 1 '/' partition:
(I assume that CONFIG_AUTODETECT_RAID is available.)

Recently I found out that you can access the individual real devices of a RAID
array (if it's not active). This way I could tell the kernel to mount my RAID
1 device as rootdir ("root=/dev/md*"). And for LILO (re)installation, I had to
mount the real device read-only somewhere and instruct LILO to read the kernel
from there. This way LILO would see something like /dev/sda3 as boot partition
and the kernel would mount the RAID array as root.

What do you think about this???
I'll try it as soon as I can...  :-)
