I tried the booting from RAID-1 thing on one of my IDE systems. It seems
impossible with the current LILO because it writes different boot data to
each drive, so if the first drive is removed the other drive becomes BIOS
device 0x80 and won't boot because LILO expects 0x81.
The next version of LILO may address this...
