I've been trying to setup a root raid with out much luck. I have
raid running for everything else. Whenever I run lilo for that
partition I get an error stating 'Fatal: open /boot/boot.b: No
such file or directory'. The file is there however.
System is setup with:
/dev/hda as the install drive
/dev/sda & /dev/sdb are the two duplicate scsi drives. I have
duplicated the partions for everyting on hda and dumped the data
over. System boots up fine w/ /boot /var /tmp /usr and /home all
on raid partitions. Getting lilo to run without errors on the
root raid is my only hang up before the whole setup is raid & I
can remove /dev/hda
I have read through the 2.2x raid docs and the 2.4 kernel howto at:
http://karaolides.com/computing/HOWTO/lvmraid/
Each of them mention that lilo should run w/out errors. I have
not found much on this error in my searches.
I would appreciate any tips/pointers help.
thanks in advance,

I fixed it. The following entries were added to lilo.conf:
disk = /dev/sda
bios = 0x80
disk = /dev/sdb
bios = 0x81
boot = /dev/sda
I also had to have /boot mounted on both /boot and on /mnt/slash/boot
in order for lilo to execute w/out errors.
