assuming you have a raid aware kernel,
There are two possible errors occuring here. One is that the md dev
is not in /dev -- put it there.
The other is that lilo is not properly configured -- I've seen that
error when if written the wrong stuff in the lilo config file AND the
kernel is not rdev'ed properly.
rdev the kernel by hand, don't depend on lilo to do it for a raid
boot when the kernel is not built on the raid partition to begin
with.
