Hello,
I've got some problem with suse and raid software boot partition. During 
installation of both versions 8.2 and 9.0 I'm unable to configure the boot 
partition as raid software with mirroring, and this is forbidding me since if 
a disk crashes, the other one will not contain the boot partition, isn't it? 
Is there a way to enable a boot partition with mirroring or some tricks to 
overtake situations where a disk fails? I'm thinking something like booting 
the system by a live cd setting then the root disk on the sane one, but maybe 
I'm wrong.
Thanks,
Luca

Here is a link to a sys admin article that explains how to set it up.
