Hi,

I've recently bought a 160Gb firewire drive and RAID1:ed it to mirror my 
main harddrive. Unfortunately, the md subsystem seems to load before the 
firewire in the kernel bootsequence, which mean I have to do some weird 
stuff to make it work. Basically, I compiled the md system as modules 
(with the SCSI patch to make it work a bit better), and hid the modules 
in a different directory, so they wouldn't load. I later load them in 
manually rc.sysinit. This work, but is a little clumsy. Is there a way 
to use append any boot-parameters to lilo to make the RAID subsystem 
load the firewire system? Or is there another solution? Thanks,
