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,

System:
Debian 3.0 base install
2.4.18 smp custom kernel

/dev/md1               46M  2.6M   41M   6% /boot

I have edited the lilo.conf on /dev/md3 (mounted to /mnt/slash)
to look like so:

boot=/dev/md3
root=/dev/md3
install=/boot/boot.b
map=/boot/map
append="noapic"     

image=/vmlinuz
        label=linux   
        read-only     


Example of the error:

# lilo -r /mnt/slash/

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.
