Hi Roy,
I have some machines running root on raid but I always have
boot=/dev/hda and a second copy of lilo.con with boot pointing to /dev/hdb
or whatever drive it was.
What is really importat for you anyway is to be able to boot again if one of
the disk is failing. The raid will ensure you to keep the root but I
always keep
a boot floppy for emergencies. Not all the BIOS supports a boot from
/dev/hdb
(I used hda/b just as an example...).
At end if you loose a disk you will be always able to change it and boot
again
to rebuilt it.
Fabio
