You can load root file system from the Raid with the kernel 2.1.x using
append= with lilo. I never tried with this kernel. With the kernel 2.0.36
it's a bit tricky and not secure...First my system boot with a small hd
(120mo) and load an image where i activate the md0 device and tell the
kernel to boot on device 0x900 (md0). But the problem is when you shutdown
the system, the raid is not cleanly unmounted so i don't known if my raid is
fine or not...
