Neil,

Thanks for your explanation about the kernel autodetect pitfalls. IMHO having
a form of kernel space autodetect is an important feature in Linux. It allows
you to use a real mirror for the root filessystem. When assambling is done
based on root fs files this feature will be lost and the only alternative would
be hardware RAID again.

They would when mounting the root would depend on /etc/fstab :)
