echo '/dev/hd* /dev/sd*' > /etc/mdadm.conf
mdadm -Dsb >> /etc/mdadm.conf
# look at /etc/mdadm.conf and make sure that it looks ok.

Note that this won't work for assembling the root filesystem.
To do that, you either need an init-ramdisk which runs "mdadm -As", or
use kernel parameters to start the root device.e.g.
append="root=/dev/md0 md=0,/dev/hda1,/dev/hdc1"
