# To use a RAID root filesystem, I think you can use a boot partition.
# Put the kernel and an initrd image on a small, non-RAID fs, perhaps
# mounted on /bootpart. Setup LILO to point to vmlinuz and initrd.img
# in /bootpart.
I don't believe this is neccessary. If you look at
~linux/drivers/block/Config.in, there is:
if [ "$CONFIG_MD_LINEAR" = "y" -o "$CONFIG_MD_STRIPED" = "y" ]; then
bool ' Boot support (linear, striped)' CONFIG_MD_BOOT
fi
which seems to imply you can boot off a linear or raid0 filesystem at
least.
G'day!
