Yes, but it's tricky. You'd have to load md.o and raid1.o in your initrd
(or other early boot time initialization) and then use some, e.g.,
statically-linked mdadm tool on that initrd to start the array. You
cannot, however, use md's RAID autodetect to autostart arrays that have
their component partitions marked as RAID autodetect (0xfd), if md is a
module.
