Hi.
I guess this keeps on coming up, but I'll ask anyhow.
I want to boot on a RAID 1 array. I have 3 disks (sda, sdb, sdc), all of which
work fine. They are all partitioned identically: sd?1 = 8GB, sd?2=128MB
swap.
I build the system on sda1. All the swap files are used fine.

I think that's an excellent idea - one stop shopping.
Don't forget, though, that we're only talking about booting RAID 1 here...

I believe he's talking about not having to do *any* non-raid partitions

success with GRUB has been good to hear about. Adding in the code

One method I've seen on another platform (Solaris/Veritas)
is as follows:
1) boot loader knows about a list of the various components
of the boot RAID device (accomplished via eeprom on SPARC)
and will attempt to boot from the first of these it can
talk to
2) first component is accessed
t requires no "magic" after that - it just works.
Several folks recommended that I write up a mini-howto on grub booting RAID
1, and that's what I'm going to do.
Harald, it might help if you did the same thing for lilo booting RAID 1...
and then folks can figure out how to use either method.

LILO is just not going to let me boot my RAID 1 root.
This is not a slam on LILO. Heck, I've happily used it for years to boot my
Linux systems, and probably will continue to on my non-root-raid systems
just because it works out of the box.
How come

I'm willing to put together a cookbook description, of sorts, to patch and set
up GRUB to boot RAID 1, and post it to the list. I guess my question is
whether there's any interest in such a thing. It's entirely possible that
most people are smarter than me, and
